In noting how important doors of entrance and exit are to actors, Thomas Dekker is surely drawing on his own experience as a playwright. He may also have a more specific theatrical door in mind. Ben Jonson's 1599 Every Man Out of His Humour includes a direct precursor to Dekker's satirical look at behavior inside St Paul's, and this extended sequence, taking up the play's third act, has its characters return again and again to the cathedral's west door, a notorious site for the posting of advertisements. Lash proposes that the attention lavished on this door is emblematic of Jonson's dramaturgy.
