Shakespeare was active in London from the 1590s to 1616. This was a time of cultural advances stimulated by the glittering Elizabethan period and the growing consciousness of Renaissance ideas. This course will put into focus the great period of theatre at that time: it will particularly use the texts of plays, maps and panoramas and the importance of archaeology in recent years to recreate the whole range of life in the city.
Theatre is produced for its audience and it has to be a business. This lecture will illustrate how theatre operated in the influential days of Marlowe, Shakespeare and Johnson. It will introduce the main impresarios, the theatre companies, the lives of actors, the spectacle of the plays, as well as the audiences from the “groundlings†to the cross-section of higher society.
