These exchanges appear frequently in late-medieval drama and continue to be crucial stage strategies for Shakespeare, in whose work they grow and change. By examining a native dramatic tradition not fully explored before, Hill proposes new ways to imagine historical and contemporary performances. Stages and Playgoers will be invaluable for students of cultural studies, medieval and Renaissance studies, theatre history, and stagecraft. 517 3 $aFrom guild plays to Shakespeare 606 $aEnglish drama$yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600$xHistory and criticism 606 $aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism 606 $aEnglish drama$y17th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aTheater audiences$zEngland$xHistory$y16th century 606 $aTheater audiences$zEngland$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aTheater audiences$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aDrama$xTechnique 606 $aSoliloquy 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aMysteries and miracle-plays, English$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aEnglish drama$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aTheater audiences$xHistory 615 0$aDrama$xTechnique. 615 0$aSoliloquy. 676 $a822/.045/09031 700 $aHill$b Janet$f1943-$01702021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910824588303321 996 $aStages and playgoers$94086221 997 $aUNINA
