Down with this sort of thing! (Careful now.)
A series of readings of anti (and pro) theatre writings from the good old days.
Featuring the writings of all your favourite pamphleteers...
John Northbrooke!
Stephen Gosson!
Thomas Lodge!
Henry Denham!
And many, many more!
Now with bonus Acts of Parliament!
Listen now, whilst extremist views last!
Coming soon... or semi occasionally... or when we're not doing something else.
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.
