Description - Shakespeare's Theatre by Peter Thomson
Shakespeare's Theatre examines the Globe in the spectacular decade from 1599 to 1608, during which Shakespeare's greatest tragedies were performed and the Lord Chamberlain's Men were recognised as the finest theatrical company in London, rising to prosperity as the King's Men. Primarily about performance Shakespeare's Theatre reviews the commercial and artistic priorities of a brilliant and hard-headed group of players. It examines and interprets the known facts about the actors, explores the ways in which they balanced the books, consideres the challenges and constraints of the Globe's stage, and give a year by year review of the company's repertoire. In this fully revised edition Peter Thomson presents new material on the Red Lion theatre, on the Rose since its excavation, and a new account of rehearsal procedures in addition to providing a fully up-dated bibliography.
