Created when James I granted royal patronage to the former
Chamberlain’s Men in 1603, the King’s Men were the first
playing company to exercise a transformative influence on
Shakespeare’s plays. Not only did Shakespeare write his plays
with them in mind, but they were also the first group to revive his
plays, and the first to have them revised, either by Shakespeare
himself or by other dramatists after his retirement. Drawing on
theatre history, performance studies, cultural history and book
history, Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King’s Men reappraises
the company as theatre artists, analysing in detail the performance
practices, cultural contexts and political pressures that helped to
shape and reshape Shakespeare’s plays between 1603 and 1642.
Reconsidering casting and acting styles, staging and playing
venues, audience response, influence and popularity, and local,
national and international politics, the book presents case-studies
of performances of Macbeth, The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale,
Richard II, Henry VIII, Othello and Pericles alongside a broader
reappraisal of the repertory of the company and the place of
Shakespeare’s plays within it.
