Anthony Turner (actor)

In 1625, Christopher Beeston formed a new company under the patronage of the new queen, Henrietta Maria; some members of the Lady Elizabeth's troupe, including Turner, joined the organization.

During the difficult years of the bubonic plague epidemic of 1636–37, Queen Henrietta's Men left Beeston and the Cockpit Theatre.

The company fractured for a time, but in 1637 was reconstituted at the Salisbury Court Theatre, with several veterans, including Turner, as continuing members.

On 8 January 1641, Turner and leading man Richard Perkins received royal liveries for fourteen members of the company.

In Andrew Pennycuicke's 1653 edition of William Heminges's play The Fatal Contract, the preface is co-signed "A. T." – and this is thought to indicate Anthony Turner.
