What does it mean for early modern theatre to be 'live'? How have
audiences over time experienced a sense of 'liveness'? This
collection extends discussions of liveness to works from the 16th
and 17th centuries, both in their initial incarnations and
contemporary adaptations. Drawing on theatre and performance
studies, as well as media theory, this volume uses the concept of
liveness to consider how early modern theatre - including
non-Western and non-traditional performance - employs embodiment,
materiality, temporality and perception to impress on its audience
a sensation of presence. The volume's contributors adopt varying
approaches and cover a range of topics from material and textual
studies, to early modern rehearsal methods, to digital and VR
theatre, to the legacy of Shakespearean performance in global
theatrical repertoires. This collection uses both early modern and
contemporary performance practices to challenge our understanding
of live performance. Productions and adaptions discussed include
the Royal Shakespeare Company's Dream (2021), CREW's Hands on
Hamlet (2017), Kit Monkman's Macbeth (2018), Arslankoey Theatre
Company's Kralice Lear (2019), and a season of productions by the
Original Practice Shakespeare Festival. Early Modern Liveness looks
beyond theatrical events as primary sites of interpretive authority
and examines the intimate and ephemeral experience of encountering
early modern theatre in its diverse manifestations.
