PLAYERS AND PLAYGOING AT THE ROSE
Dr Emma Whipday and Dr Simon Smith
Join Emma Whipday (Newcastle University) and Simon Smith (Shakespeare Institute) in conversation, as they explore how interactions between players & playgoers — and playhouses like The Rose — shape our understanding of early modern drama.
How did an early modern player perform a virginal girl, a shamefaced blush, a “dead likeness” or Othello’s trance?
How do we think about the playgoers that playwrights imagined?
How do we think about the stage itself and the spaces — physical, social and conceptual — that surround it?
Drawing on examples from their recent book Playing and Playgoing, they will show how the study of theatrical culture is crucial to gaining a full understanding of the plays themselves.
