Presupposing no specialist musical knowledge, this book offers a
fresh perspective on the dramatic role of music in the plays of
Shakespeare and his early seventeenth-century contemporaries. Simon
Smith argues that many plays used music as a dramatic tool,
inviting culturally familiar responses to music from playgoers.
Music cues regularly encouraged audiences to listen, look, imagine
or remember at dramatically critical moments, shaping meaning in
plays from The Winter's Tale to A Game at Chess, and making
theatregoers active and playful participants in playhouse
performance. Drawing upon sensory studies, theatre history,
material texts, musicology and close reading, Smith argues for the
importance of music in familiar and less well-known plays including
Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, The Revenger's Tragedy, Sophonisba,
The Spanish Gypsy and A Woman Killed With Kindness.
