Charles Hulett (c.1700-1735) was a British stage actor. His name is sometimes written as Charles Hulet.

Contents

Hulett was the son of John Hulett, a Yeomen of the Guard and Steward to the Earl of Northampton. Born in Bloomsbury, he acted as an apprentice to the bookseller Edmund Curll for two years before turning to acting. [1] It is possible he may have first acted in Dublin, but his first known role was as Lennox in Macbeth at the Lincoln's Inn Fields Theatre on 26 October 1721. Possibly under the guidance of James Quin, he became an established member of the Lincoln's Inn Fields company. His long standing association ended in 1732 just as John Rich took the company to the new Covent Garden Theatre. [2]

Hulett then joined Henry Giffard at the Goodman's Fields Theatre in Whitechapel where he acted until his death, with occasional appearances at other theatres. [3]

Lisle's Tennis Court was a building off Portugal Street in Lincoln's Inn Fields in London. Originally built as a real tennis court, it was used as a playhouse during two periods, 1661–1674 and 1695–1705. During the early period, the theatre was called Lincoln's Inn Fields Playhouse, also known as The Duke's Playhouse, The New Theatre or The Opera. The building was rebuilt in 1714, and used again as a theatre for a third period, 1714–1732. The tennis court theatre was the first public playhouse in London to feature the moveable scenery that would become a standard feature of Restoration theatres.
