The Boar's Head Theatre, first published in 1972, provides an
account of one of the Elizabethan inn-yard theatres. It is a
reconstruction of considerable importance in our understanding of
the performance conditions affecting Elizabethan drama, the mode of
presentation and the nature of the audience. C. J. Sisson
(1885-1966) was known especially for his research into Elizabethan
court cases and the light they can throw on the literature and
drama of the period. His discoveries included material on the
Elizabethan inn-yard theatres which provides unquestionable
evidence of great importance in relation to the evolution of the
theatre in England. This book, which has been edited for
publication by Stanley Wells, was to have been his major work on
the subject. Historians of the theatre of this period will find
this book indispensable, and those with a more general interest in
the greatest age of English drama will be engrossed by the detailed
and intimate glimpses of the theatre world which this story
affords.
