Shakespeare's company, the King's Men, played at the Globe, and
also in an indoor theatre, the Blackfriars. The year 2014 witnessed
the opening of the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, based on
seventeenth-century designs of an indoor London theatre and built
within the precincts of the current Globe on Bankside. This volume,
edited by Andrew Gurr and Farah Karim-Cooper, asks what prompted
the move to indoor theatres, and considers the effects that more
intimate staging, lighting and music had on performance and
repertory. It discusses what knowledge is required when attempting
to build an archetype of such a theatre, and looks at the effects
of the theatre on audience behaviour and reception. Exploring the
ways in which indoor theatre shaped the writing of Shakespeare and
his contemporaries in the late Jacobean and early Caroline periods,
this book will find a substantial readership among scholars of
Shakespeare and Jacobean theatre history.
