How do these skills differ from those of contemporary actors?" This volume "examines the 'toolkit' of the early modern player and suggests new readings of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries through the lens of their many skills.Theatre is an ephemeral medium. Little remains to us of the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries: some printed texts, scattered documents and records, and a few scraps of description, praise, and detraction. Because most of what survives are printed playbooks, students of English theatre find it easy to forget that much of what happened on the early modern stage took place within the gaps of written language: the implicit or explicit calls for fights, dances, military formations, feats of physical skill, song, and clowning. Theatre historians and textual editors have often ignored or denigrated such moments, seeing them merely as extraneous amusements or signs that the text has been 'corrupted' by actors. This book argues that recapturing a positive account of the skills and expertise of the early modern players will result in a more capacious understanding of the nature of theatricality in the period. 410 0$aArden Shakespeare (Critical studies) 517 1 $aEarly modern actors & Shakespeare's theatre 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aActing$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aActing$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aShakespeare studies & criticism$2bicssc 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aTheater$xHistory 615 0$aActing$xHistory 615 0$aActing$xHistory 615 7$aShakespeare studies & criticism 676 $a792.02/8094209031 700 $aTribble$b Evelyn B.$01208999 801 0$bYDX 801 1$bCaBNVSL 801 2$bCaBNVSL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910155087003321 996 $aEarly modern actors and Shakespeare's theatre$92789186 997 $aUNINA
