Web. 26 Sep. 2021. <http://dx.doi.org/10.5040/9781350051379.ch-002>. Downloaded from Bloomsbury Collections, www.bloomsburycollections.com, 26 September 2021, 08:28 UTC.

You may share this work for non-commercial purposes only, provided you give attribution to the copyright holder and the publisher, and provide a link to the Creative Commons licence. 2 A Sharers’ Repertory Holger Schott Syme Without Philip Henslowe, we would know next to nothing about the kinds of repertories early modern London’s resident theatre companies offered to their audiences. As things stand, thanks to the existence of the manuscript commonly known as Henslowe’s Diary , scholars have been able to contemplate the long lists of receipts and expenses that record the titles of well over 200 plays, most of them now lost. The Diary gives us some sense of the richness and diversity of this repertory, of the rapid turnover of plays, and of the kinds of investments theatre companies made to mount new shows. It also names a plethora of actors and other professionals associated with the troupes at the Rose. But, because the records are a fi nancier’s and theatre owner’s, not those of a sharer in an acting company, they do not document how a group of actors decided which plays to stage, how they chose to alternate successful shows, or what they, as actors, were looking for in new commissions.

  • The Ignorant Elizabethan Author and Massinger's Believe As You List*
    The Ignorant Elizabethan Author and Massinger's Believe as You List* My purpose is to explore the evidence of the management of the acting cast offered by one of the surviving manuscript plays of the Caroline theatre and to defend its author against the charge of theatrical ineptitude. The manuscript is that of Massinger's Believe as You List (MS Egerton 2,828) 1 prepared for performance in 1631. It is in Massinger's hand, but has been heavily annotated by a reviser whom I propose to call by his old theatrical title of Plotter. I am aware that this is to beg a question at the outset, for we really do not know how many functionaries were involved in the preparation of a seventeenth-century play or on what order they worked upon the' dramatist's script. Our common picture of the Elizabethan theatre is almost all built from inference, and despite the wealth of information we appear to possess in the play-texts, theatre Plots, manuscripts, and even the builders' contracts for the Fortune and Hope thea­ tres, almost every detail of our reconstructions of the playhouses and the methods of production and performance within them is the subject of scholarly dispute. The result is that we have no clear picture of the dramatist's craft as Shakespeare and his contemporaries practised it, or of the understood conditions that governed the production and perfor­ mance of their plays. That there were well-understood methods is apparent from the remarkable uniformity of the stage directions in printed texts and manuscripts throughout the whole period from the building of the Theatre in 1576 to the end of regular playing in 1642.

  • A Greatly Exaggerated Demise: the Remaking of the Children of Paul's As the Duke of York's
    Early Theatre 9.1 Brandon Centerwall A Greatly Exaggerated Demise: The Remaking of the Children of Paul’s as the Duke of York’s Men (1608) The Children of Paul’s acting company came to a bad end … or did it? The current narrative, as developed by Reavley Gair in The Children of Paul’s (1982), holds that the troupe made its fatal error when in 1608 it staged the satiric comedy The Puritan, thereby bringing down upon themselves the wrath of the puritan community: ‘it was … a very serious miscalculation, a blunder that was to prove largely responsible for the theatre company’s demise’.1 Staging The Puritan certainly brought down the wrath of puritan divine William Crashaw. Taking specific exception to The Puritan for its lampoon of those faithful such as lived in the nearby parishes of St Antlings and St Mary Overys, on 14 February 1608 Crashaw fulminated against the Children of Paul’s in a sermon delivered from the outdoor pulpit Paul’s Cross, just a stone’s throw away from Paul’s playhouse:2 [The Children of Paul’s] be children of Babylon that will not bee healed: nay, they grow worse and worse, for now they bring religion and holy things vpon the stage: no maruel though the worthiest and mightiest men escape not, when God himselfe is so abused. Two hypocrites must be brought foorth; and how shall they be described but by these names, Nicolas S. Antlings, Simon S. Maryoueries? …. Are they thus incurable? then happie hee that puts to his hand to pull downe this tower of Babel, this daughter of confusion, happie he that helpes to heale this wound in our State: but most happie that Magistrate, who, like zealous Phinehes, takes some iust vengeance on that publike dishonour laid vpon our Churches.

  • Cambridge Companion Eng Renais Drama
    This page intentionally left blank The Cambridge Companion to English Renaissance Drama This second edition of the Companion offers students up-to-date factual and interpretative material about the principal theatres, playwrights, and plays of the most important period of English drama, from 1580 to 1642. Three wide- ranging chapters on theatres, dramaturgy, and the social, cultural, and political conditions of the drama are followed by chapters describing and illustrating various theatrical genres: private and occasional drama, political plays, heroic plays, burlesque, comedy, tragedy, with a final essay on the drama produced during the reign of Charles I. Several of the essays have been substantially revised and all of the references updated. An expanded biographical and bib- liographical section details the work of the dramatists discussed in the book and the best sources for further study.

  • The Repertory of Prince Charles's
    Early Theatre 9.2 David Nicol The Repertory of Prince Charles’s (I) Company, 1608–1625 In recent years, studies by Rosalyn L. Knutson, Scott McMillin and Sally-Beth MacLean, Mary Bly and Andrew Gurr have demonstrated that reading the repertories of individual playing companies with the plays grouped together can yield fresh insights into the companies, their plays, and the general theatre history of the period concerned.1 The first stage in such a study is determining the plays that belonged to a given company at any given time, and although much of this work was carried out in the early to mid-twentieth century by E.K. Chambers and G.E. Bentley, and has been carried forward since by others (most recently by those named above), new discoveries can still be made. In the course of an ongoing study of the actor-playwright William Rowley, I have found evidence that may expand the known repertory of one of the companies he acted for: Prince Charles’s Men, a Jacobean playing company that operated between 1608 and 1625. At present, twenty-six plays have been listed as belonging to this company, of which only eight have survived. However, fifteen more plays, eight of which are extant, may tentatively be added to the company’s repertory if the available evidence is looked at in a new light. In this article I outline the history of Prince Charles’s Men, and supply the evidence for possible additions to its repertory. The company The history of the company normally known as Prince Charles’s Men2 can be divided into four periods.3 The first period (1608–c1614), covers the early years of the company, which was formed in 1608, and by 1613 was probably performing at the Curtain in Shoreditch.
