This guide to the unique theatrical venues of London, from 1567, when the first playhouse was built, to 1642, when Parliament closed them down, sets out the rich dramatic history of this period in relation to the latest exciting archaeological evidence. The book also details the people involved \u2013 the builders, actors, playwrights and audiences \u2013 what they wore and what they ate, where they drank, where they fought, where they lived and died. There are theatrical quotes and jokes, and illustrations old and new, while a series of walks explores different areas of today\u2019s London, where glimpses of Shakespeare\u2019s London can still be caught.<\/p>\n

Illustrated in colour throughout.<\/p>\n\n\n
