With this book Ivor Brown completes a trilogy which began with How Shakespeare Spent the Day and continued with The Women in Shakespeare's Life. Again he seeks to discover the man of his time behind the genius who wrote for all time. He uses his intimate knowledge of the theatre of today to draw a contrasted and lively picture of playhouse conditions when Shakespeare was an actor, long and busily serving a repertory company. How were his plays rehearsed, cut, and publicised? What was the discipline imposed by the Court and its officials, and what the favours shown by Shakespeare's patrons ? What was his own ability in performance? The discussion of these questions is illuminated by companion portraits of his colleagues and rivals, and special attention is given to the boys for whom he wrote such challenging and rewarding roles. Drawing on a wide range of sources, and not least on the evidence of the plays themselves, Ivor Brown takes the reader behind the scenes of the theatres whose names, notably that of the Globe, have been so long remembered because Shakespeare worked in them as actor and actor-manager, as well as being their master-dramatist. Size: 8vo.
