About the Author:
Dr. Charles Mitchell received his PhD in Theatre from the University of Colorado at Boulder. He is currently Assistant Professor at Loyola College, Baltimore. For two years, he was Managing Editor of On-Stage Studies, a peer-reviewed, annual theatre journal.
Review:
"It may be a stretch to say that Londoners of Shakespeare's time were as familiar with the protocols of a public execution as today's citizens are of a soccer match, but not much. In this study, Charles Mitchell argues that this familiarity provided significant common ground for Shakespeare and his audiences, common ground upon which Shakespeare could construct plots and define characters....Mitchell herein offers a telling examination of how the playwright drew upon the 'streettheatre' aspects of London's public executions to communicate with his audiences and influence their responses." - James Symons, Professor of Theatre, University of Colorado, Boulder"
