About this book

This collection asks pressing questions about how and why we study performances of Renaissance drama, challenging prevailing views and suggesting new methodologies for the field. How does an emphasis on Shakespeare limit us? What can we learn from non-traditional theatre? Why should we rethink the value of studying what happens onstage?

'Sarah Werner gathers a diverse clutch of essays on approaches to Renaissance drama and its performances: cue startling namechecks for Hitchcock, Johnny Cash and Travis Bickle.' - Plays International
