Description

Unruly Audiences and the Theater of Control in Early Modern London examines how audience riots shaped the dramaturgy of early modern playwrights from Marlowe to Brome. This academic study argues that playwrights deliberately used their works to manage and limit the physical reactions of audiences, seeking to transform playgoing into a more contemplative experience rather than an uncontrolled spectacle. Published by Routledge, this book explores the anxiety that drove playwrights to establish control mechanisms within their drama, protecting the fragile professional theatre industry in England from the destructive potential of unruly audiences. The study reveals how early modern dramatists strategically constructed their plays to encourage pensive engagement over reactive behaviour, fundamentally shaping the relationship between stage and spectator during this transformative period in English theatre history.
