From 2013 till 2017, when we were still in our earlier incarnation (as Before Shakespeare), we toured a solo performer version of The Summoning of Everyman. We recorded a few of the bigger speeches, as well as a few compare and contrast material from other plays. Due to the archive nature of these recordings, quality will vary.
From the earliest drama in English, to the closing of the theatres in 1642, there was a hell of a lot of drama produced - and a lot of it wasn't by Shakespeare. Apart from a few noble exceptions these plays are often passed over, ignored or simply unknown. This is a blog about what exists beyond Shakespeare, about the plays, fragmentary and extant, that shaped the theatrical world that shaped our dramatic history.
