About this book
Actors, audiences and a newly built playhouse provide the starting point for Bernard Beckerman's study of Shakespearean performance. Published in 1962, it examines the Globe company's London work from 1599 to 1609, relating the theater's organization to the plays produced there. The introduction traces the building of the Globe, the stability of its company and the later acquisition of the indoor Blackfriars theater.
The chapters move from repertory and dramatic structure to stage design, acting and the arrangement of scenes in performance. In the middle excerpt, Beckerman considers actors' backgrounds in trades and apprenticeships, alongside evidence of wit, dancing and physical skill in earlier companies. He weighs incomplete records carefully, distinguishing established facts from suggested identifications.
