The Shakespeare Tavern

During a run of Henry IV in 1993, the actor playing Falstaff came out of the dressing room shaken. A boy in a velvet suit had been standing beside his.

During a production of Henry IV Part I at this Atlanta theatre in 1993, the actor playing Falstaff came out of the men's dressing room badly shaken.

Beside his dressing table there had been a very young boy, in a velvet suit of the kind children wore in the 1800s.

Others have reported figures passing and odd lights over the years.

The date and the production are what make this account useful. It is fixed in time, it was witnessed by a company of people who saw the actor's state immediately afterwards, and it happened in a working professional theatre with a payroll and a schedule rather than at a site people visit hoping for something.

The playhouse serves food and drink during performances in the Elizabethan manner, and the company has been performing Shakespeare in Atlanta since the 1980s.

The tavern is open and performing.
