Description
Originally published in 1991, this Routledge Library Editions volume explores Elizabethan theatre through the lens of performance practice rather than textual analysis. David Mann shifts focus from the supposed meanings and morals of plays to examine the actual performer and staging techniques. The book draws from authentic play extracts to analyse critical performance issues including utterance, doubling, clowning, improvisation, and the influence of audience and venue on dramatic dynamics. This academic study offers theatre scholars and students a performer-centred approach to understanding Renaissance drama, revealing how Elizabethan actors shaped their roles onstage and how physical performance choices drove theatrical meaning.

Key Features

Focuses on Elizabethan actor performance practice rather than textual interpretation or moral analysis of plays.

Examines doubling in Elizabethan theatre and its implications for how actors presented multiple characters onstage.

Analyses the role of clowning and improvisation in Elizabethan performance and audience engagement.

Explores how venue and audience composition affected the dynamics and delivery of Renaissance stage performances.

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: Renaissance Drama series, providing academic context for theatre history research.
