Created when James I granted royal patronage to the former Chamberlain”s Men in 1603, the King”s Men were the first playing company to exercise a transformative influence on Shakespeare”s plays. Not only did Shakespeare write his plays with them in mind, but they were also the first group to revive his plays, and the first to have them revised, either by Shakespeare himself or by other dramatists after his retirement. Drawing on theatre history, performance studies, cultural history and book history,
Shakespeare in the Theatre: The King”s Men reappraises the company as theatre artists, analysing in detail the performance practices, cultural contexts and political pressures that helped to shape and reshape Shakespeare”s plays between 1603 and 1642. Reconsidering casting and acting styles, staging and playing venues, audience response, influence and popularity, and local, national and international politics, the book presents case-studies of performances of
Macbeth,
The Tempest,
The Winter”s Tale,
Richard II,
Henry VIII,
Othello and
Pericles alongside a broader reappraisal of the repertory of the company and the place of Shakespeare”s plays within it.
