All the world's a stage And Elizabeth's gowns may have ended up on it
2003
Overview
Jenny Tiramani, the equally cash-strapped present-day design director of the reconstructed Globe on London's South Bank, believes the players also acquired a treasure trove: that some of [Elizabeth]'s legendary 2,000 gowns were given by [James VI] to be recycled as stage costumes. After Elizabeth's death her gowns vanished. There was malicious gossip that James smuggled them to Holland and sold them for pounds 100,000, or that they were cut up and remodelled for his chunkier wife, Anne of Denmark. Certainly, James ordered the sale of \"stoffes of sondry kindes, olde Roabes and Garmentes of former Queenes of this Realme . . .\" No inventories survive from the Globe, unlike [Philip Henslowe]'s careful accounts at the [Rose]. However, Ms Tiramani has unearthed clues that the Globe company may have benefited before James's royal jumble sale.
