An examination of Henslowe's journal shows that a theatre company would open with a new play and perform that play frequently for a short time. If it was successful, it continued to be played regularly in repertoire. If not, it got shelved, and the scripts were likely lost. Only really successful plays got published in book form.
For example, Henslowe's records of the Admiral's Men shows they performed a new play called Henry V (not Shakespeare's, another one on the same theme) on Nov. 28, and brought in such good houses that it was played again Dec. 2, 8, 16, 28, January 5 and 19, February 6, April 24 and May 26. They didn't play it in the fall, however.
