The original Blackfriars closed its doors in the 1640s, ending over
half-a-century of performances by men and boys. In 2001, in the
Shenandoah Valley of Virginia, it opened once again. The
reconstructed Blackfriars, home to the American Shakespeare Center,
represents an old playhouse for the new millennium and therefore
symbolically registers the permanent revolution in the performance
of Shakespeare. Time and again, the industry refreshes its
practices by rediscovering its own history. This book assesses how
one American company has capitalised on history and in so doing has
forged one of its own to become a major influence in contemporary
Shakespearean theatre.
