INSERT PLAY HERE!
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.

The Bloody Banquet by Middleton and Dekker
One day we will do a full production of The Bloody Banquet by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker - but till then we look at just the beginning, in the first of our What's Past is Prologue features. We're asking a fairly simple question - how do you start a play? Here's one way - the chorus and dumb show combo, with straightforward exposition that merges straightaway into action.
The Chorus is performed by Sarah Golding and it is presented by Robert Crighton.
