Henslowe's note that ‘the tamynge of A Shrowe’ was one of the plays acted at Newington Butts in June, 1594, when the Admiral's and the Chamberlain's companies were there, is discussed elsewhere in this volume (pp. xiii, xxiii, 106). Sir E. K. Chambers (Elizabethan Stage, ii. 197) and others are inclined to think that Loue Labours Wonne, mentioned by Meres in Palladis Tamia (1598), is The Taming of the Shrew. Sir Henry Herbert, Master of the Revels, recorded that The Taminge of the Shrew was acted at St James's before the King and Queen on November 26, 1633, and ‘likt’; and the performance of a ‘Revived Play Taminge the Shrew’ is mentioned in his rough accounts for 1663–64 (J. Q. Adams, Dramatic Records of Sir Henry Herbert, pp. 53 and 138). In the division of December, 1660, the play had fallen to Killigrew; and on April 9, 1667, Pepys saw at the King's house ‘The Tameing of a Shrew, which hath some very good pieces in it, but generally is but a mean play; and the best part, Sawny, done by Lacy, hath not half its life, by reason of the words, I suppose, not being understood, at least by me.’ On November 1, 1667, he again saw the play at the King's house, ‘a silly play and an old one.’
