The collection, edited by Annalisa Castaldo and Rhonda Knight,
features essays by scholars interested in exploring how the
material culture of sixteenth and early seventeenth English
theatrical culture influenced the creation and presentation of
drama and how understanding this culture can enrich scholars'
current interactions with these plays as well as offer insights to
actors and directors. The essays include discussions of plays by
Shakespeare, Marlowe, and Middleton as well as lesser known works
and playwrights. This collection is unique in that it includes the
body of the actor as a material object that is encountered and
manipulated by other actors on the stage. These essays demonstrate
how props, bodies and the architectural dimensions of early modern
stages have both practical and symbolic registers.
Shakespeare in the Theatre: Mark Rylance at the Globe Each volume
in the Shakespeare in the Theatre series focuses on a director or
theatre company who has made a significant contribution to
Shakespeare production, identifying the artistic and
political/social contexts of their work. The series introduces
readers to the work of significant theatre directors and companies
whose Shakespeare productions have been transformative in our
understanding of his plays in performance. Each volume examines a
single figure or company, considering their key productions,
rehearsal approaches and their work with other artists. Since its
opening in the late 1990s, the reconstructed Shakespeare's Globe
Theatre has made an indelible impression on the contemporary
British theatre scene. This book explores the theatre's first
decade of productions under the pioneering leadership of Sir Mark
Rylance. Drawing upon an extensive range of material from the
theatre's archive, interviews with Globe practitioners, and
Rylance's own personal archive, this book argues that the Rylance
era was a ground-breaking and important period of recent theatre
history. It concludes with an in-depth interview with Rylance
himself. The book gives a unique insight into Rylance's practice
and impact, and will be of interest to anyone studying Shakespeare
in performance. Stephen Purcell is Associate Professor of English
at the University of Warwick. His research focuses on the
performance of the work of Shakespeare and his contemporaries on
the modern stage and screen, and his publications include the books
Popular Shakespeare and Shakespeare and Audience in Practice. He
also directs for the open-air theatre company The Pantaloons.

studies, and analyses the strategies employed both in the texts
themselves and by modern theatre practitioners to position
