Explores the network of social, political and spiritual connections
in north west England as a site for regional drama, introducing the
reader to the non-metropolitan theatre spaces which formed a vital
part of early modern dramatic activity. Uses the possibility that
Shakespeare began his theatrical career to provide a range of new
contexts for reading his plays. Examines the contexts in which the
apprentice dramatist would have worked, providing new insight into
regional performance, touring theatre & the patronage of the
Earls of Derby. Examines the experiences of Catholic families and
the way in which Lancashire's status as a Catholic stronghold led
to conflict with central government's attempts to create a united
state.. All this feeds into innovative readings of individual plays
such as Twelfth Night, Romeo and Juliet and A Midsummer Night's
Dream. -- .
