John Downes (17th-century prompter)


 

John Downes worked as a prompter at the Duke's Company, and later the United Company, for most of the Restoration period 16601700. His "historical review of the stage", Roscius Anglicanus (1708), is a very valuable source for theatre historians, and is often referred to simply as "Downes".
