By reconsidering the available evidence, it seeks to provide a new understanding and treatment of certain aspects of plays as evidence. This study demonstrates the significance of this new information and offers an assessment of the competing narratives surrounding early modern performance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book explores the bases for the interdependent beliefs that early modern players relied solely on their parts to prepare for performances, that rehearsals were minimal, and that bookkeepers compensated for these circumstances by prompting players who were out of their parts. Leslie Thomson's focus on often ignored or downplayed requirements and challenges of early modern play texts provides evidence for answers that will foster a more nuanced and thorough understanding of original performance practices.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis exploration will be of great interest to theatre and performance researchers, graduate students, teachers of early modern drama at the undergraduate and graduate levels, performers, directors, and editors. The book provides valuable insights into the practices and processes of early modern performance and will contribute to a deeper appreciation and understanding of these plays.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 560g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 234 x 156 (mm)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781032278070\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Leslie Thomson","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":44104175419642,"sku":"9781032278070","price":119.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/1658523227307_book.jpg?v=1658940664","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/from-playtext-to-performance-on-the-early-modern-stage-how-did-they-do-it-9781032278070","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
