The Curtain was built some 200yards south of London's first playhouse, The Theatre, which had opened a year before, in 1576. It was called the "Curtain" because it was located near a plot of land called Curtain Close, not because of the sort of front curtain associated with modern theatres, but of its proximity of the City walls, curtain or curtain wall referring to the part of city walls between two bastions.
History
Little is known of the plays performed at the Curtain or of the playing companies that performed there. Henry Lanman appears to have been its proprietor, who is described as a "gentleman." In 1585, Lanman made an agreement with the proprietor of the Theatre, James Burbage, to use the Curtain as a supplementary house, or "teaser," to the more prestigious older playhouse.
Phish (also known as The White Tape) is a self-produced album released by the American rock band Phish on cassette in 1986. Often cited as the first Phish "album", The White Tape was originally a collection of original material that the band used as a demo/sample tape for venues, and was sometimes labelled "Phish" or simply "Demo". The album was widely circulated among Phish fans for more than a decade before being officially released in 1998.
The album was created from four-track recordings over a period of three years and includes a number of outside musicians performing on various songs. Only "Alumni Blues", "AC/DC Bag", "Slave To The Traffic Light" and "Dog Gone Dog" (a.k.a. "Dog Log") have the four band members together. The remaining tracks were recorded separately by various members and blended together to create the finished album.
The White Tape includes an early version of the Phish epic "You Enjoy Myself", performed a cappella with the band members singing the opening guitar lines. The album also contains avant-gardeexperimental pieces, instrumental passages, electronic noises and studio trickery. Some songs were further developed and figure heavily in the band's live performances, while a few have rarely been heard since.
The Curtain is a seven-part essay by Milan Kundera, along with The Art of the Novel and Testaments Betrayed composing a type of trilogy of book-length essays on the European novel.
The Curtain was originally published as "Le Rideau", in French in April 2005 by Gallimard. It is also available in Spanish as "El Telón", in German as "Der Vorhang", in Italian as "Il Sipario" (Adelphi, 2004), in Portuguese as "A Cortina" in Polish as "Zasłona", in Greek as "Ο πέπλος" (O peplos) in Hungarian as "A függöny", in Croatian as "Zavjesa", in Icelandic as Tjöldin (JPV, 2006) and in Romanian as "Cortina". It was published in English on 30 January 2007 by HarperCollins.
A few years back, the remains of the Curtain Theatre in Shoreditch were uncovered.
Right now, a team of archaeologists from Museum of London Archaeology (MOLA) are on the site, digging down into the past.
There are public tours to visit the site up until 24 June 2016.

The Stage - Curtain Theatre - Commercial and Residential Property
Jonathan Goldstein, Cain Hoy’s chief executive; Ed Vaizey MP, Minister of State for Culture and the Digital Economy; and Heather Knight, the senior archaeologist leading the dig on behalf of MOLA at the launch of The Stage dig.
The historic site will be preserved as a cultural centre once the dig is complete.
The team from Museum of London Archaeology officially “broke the ground” at the site of the appropriately named Stage development in Shoreditch, off Curtain Road, almost 400 years to the day since the death of the Bard.
Culture minister Ed Vaizey MP, who launched the dig, said: “The 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death is a fitting time to be excavating this significant historical site. Shoreditch today is one of London’s most vibrant locations, and its prominence as a theatric...

S&K helped Shomrei Torah Synagogue setup there event space with a new curtain and pivoting leg system. The ceiling of this event space was not permissible to hang a track system from. S&K recommended a Truss System that could be mounted to the floor, creating a framed structure that could hang the curtain system and lights. We installed the main Curtain track and three sets of isolated pivoting leg tracks. We used 54" Crescent Velour 20 oz. IFR custom color dye for the curtain fabric. For the cyclorama, we used 118" MUSLIN WHITE, 100% POLYESTER. The was a great project to see come together.

The historic site will be preserved as a cultural centre once the dig is complete.
The team from Museum of London Archaeology officially “broke the ground” at the site of the appropriately named Stage development in Shoreditch, off Curtain Road, almost 400 years to the day since the death of the Bard.
Culture minister Ed Vaizey MP, who launched the dig, said: “The 400th anniversary of Shakespeare’s death is a fitting time to be excavating this significant historical site. Shoreditch today is one of London’s most vibrant locations, and its prominence as a theatrical hotspot during Shakespeare’s time highlights this area’s enduring cultural appeal.”
Evidence for the theatre, revealed through trial excavations for The Stage in 2012, indicates its remains are very well preserved, experts say.
It is hoped the remains of the Curtain, which are two to three metres below modern ground level, will shed light on Elizabethan playhouses and give archaeologists more clues about the physical structure and use of the theatre.
Heather Knight, the senior archaeologist leading the dig, said: “There is also the possibility of finding fragments of props, costumes or items used by the audience, including food remains or drinking vessels, which could tell us more about theatre productions and culture at the time.”
Once the dig is complete, the remains of the Curtain will be preserved and artefacts discovered and records taken during the excavation will be studied in detail.
A display of the finds will sit alongside the theatre remains as part of a cultural and visitor centre. The £750m Stage development will include homes, shops and offices. Findings from the dig will be reported next month.

Sam Rubinstein, founder of London-based Rooibos salon, tells me that, right now, the curtain crop is one of their “most requested haircuts” ... No one wants fluffy curtains (I’m personally a fan of the wet-look curtain crop).
