Summary from English Wikipedia (enwiki)

The Red Bull was an inn-yard conversion erected in Clerkenwell, London operating in the 17th century. For more than four decades, it entertained audiences drawn primarily from the City and its suburbs, developing a reputation over the years for rowdiness. After Parliament closed the theatres in 1642, it continued to host illegal performances intermittently, and when the theatres reopened after the Restoration, it became a legitimate venue again. There is a myth that it burned down in the Great Fire of London but the direct reason for its end is unclear.

Summary from Français / French Wikipedia (frwiki)

Le Red Bull était un théâtre londonien du XVIIe siècle. Pendant plus de quatre décennies, il divertit des publics venant principalement des quartiers nord de la ville, formant des auditoires bagarreurs et souvent perturbateurs. Après la fermeture des théâtres par le Parlement en 1642, il continua à accueillir par intermittences des représentations illégales, et quand les théâtres furent autorisés à rouvrir à la Restauration, il redevint un lieu légitime de spectacle. Il brûla pendant le Grand incendie de Londres, et il fut l'un des derniers théâtres élisabéthains à disparaître.

Summary from Deutsch / German Wikipedia (dewiki)

Das Red Bull Theatre oder auch kurz: Red Bull, war ein Innenhof-Theater, welches im 17. Jahrhundert in Clerkenwell in London existierte. Mehr als vier Jahrzehnte lang unterhielt es Theaterpublikum aus der Londoner City und anderen Stadtteilen. Wobei der Ruf mit den Jahren eher in die Richtung grober Volksbelustigung ging. Nachdem die Londoner Theater 1642 schlossen, vermochte es das Red Bull gelegentlich weiterhin, wenn auch illegal, Theateraufführungen zu zeigen. Dies entfiel, als die Theater 1660 in Folge der Stuart-Restauration wieder öffnen durften. Es gehört zu den Mythen, dass das Theater dem Großen Brand von London zum Opfer gefallen sein soll. Wenngleich der Grund für seinen Niedergang nicht eindeutig zu benennen ist.
