Just to follow up on Nate's question:
According to Simon Trussler (who wrote The Cambridge Illustrated History of British Theatre and seems to have been a sort of dramaturg for the RSC when they were producing more "educational" programme texts of their performances), "it is likely that Hyde Park was first performed by Christopher Beeston's company, Queen Henrietta's Men, at the Phoenix Theatre" in 1632 and in 1639 was "included in a list of plays acknowledged to be the property of the King and Queen's Young Company, better known as Beeston's Boys, by then in occupation at the Phoenix."
Sorry I didn't have the specifics yesterday!
