Description

The Rise Of The Common Player by M C Bradbrook

A Study of Actor and Society in Shakespeare's England. Here is a fascinating book on a subject with which few people – even literary scholars and historians of the period – are familiar. Miss Bradbrook gives us a social history of the Elizabethan public theatres and their companies; she studies the careers of four representative figures – Laneham, Tarlton, Wilson and Alleyn; she also investigates other forms of dramatic entertainment during the period – the Choristers' theatre, for instance, and the private Masques and Offerings. We are shown how the Elizabethan theatre was developed from Guild plays, Christmas revels and the strolling players, Burbage's opening of the Shoreditch theatre in 1576 being "the most significant date in the history of English drama".
