Now having flashbacks to a readthrough of this at MSA in Wittenberg, flanked by modern paintings that (if memory serves) combined Martin Luther with graphic nudity (not Luther's nudity, fortunately)

From Doctor Faustus so a bit too early. Bev and Rasmussen's note > abdominal connotations i.e. Belly-all and Belcher; also note there's a Belcher in The Devil's Charter.

Great name for the author of Hans Beer Pot though.

Sarah Dustagheer's book on the King's Men performing at the Globe and at Blackfriars might be a starting point as it discusses the practicalities of indoor performance and I seem to remember that it discusses the aesthetic effect of candlelight
