Description

Explore the complex relationship between spectators and stage in Unruly Audiences and the Theater of Control in Early Modern London. This scholarly work from the Studies in Performance and Early Modern Drama series examines how audience riots influenced the writing of plays during a formative era for English theater. This study investigates the anxiety surrounding unpredictable crowds and the potential threat they posed to the growing professional drama industry. It tracks how playwrights, ranging from Marlowe to Brome, adapted their dramaturgy to manage physical reactions. Instead of allowing chaos, these writers used their scripts to shape the experience of playgoing. By analyzing these literary strategies, the book reveals how drama was used to move audiences toward a more pensive and less reactive state. It provides a deep look into the methods used to stabilize the theater environment and protect the nascent industry through intentional narrative construction.
