    Book description

    Shakespeare's Stages provides a multimedia introduction to the playing spaces in which Shakespeare's works were first performed. Drawing on the latest theatre-historical scholarship, it guides users through the pleasures and pitfalls of archival and archaeological research to establish what we know (or think we know) about the various locations for which Shakespeare's plays were created. Written in an accessible style and enriched by a host of audio-visual materials, the resource ranges through the physical settings and architectural features of Shakespeare's two 'main' playhouses-the open-air Globe and the indoor Blackfriars-and stops by inn-yards, city streets, and even the River Thames along the way, offering invaluable insight into not only what these venues were like, but how their specific environs affected how plays were written and performed in the first place. Shakespeare's Stages is part of Cambridge Shakespeare Editions, with General Editors Margaret Jane Kidnie, Sonia Massai and Gillian Woods.
