Performance review: Bosworth Field by John Beaumont
Performance review: Sophonisba by John Marston
The Lord Mayor's Show for 1621 and 2021: Reconstructing a Triumph
In October 2021, the Beyond Shakespeare group performed the text of Thomas Middleton's Lord Mayor's Show of 1621, The Sun in Aries, at Bow Church in London's Cheapside. Lasting about half an hour, as opposed to the original all-day event, it featured music, child and adult performers, and minimal visual effects. The experiment showed that actors’ voices can be effective even in outdoor spaces (though less effective than music), but also that much…

‘As a Stranger Give it Welcome’: Foreignness and Wonder in Jacobean London
The two early modern meanings of the word ‘stranger’ (someone one does not know; a foreigner) have become separated in modern English. This article looks at attitudes to the ‘stranger’ both as pathetic victim and as someone outside Anglophone language and culture, with special reference to the arrival of a Scottish king and his followers in 1603–04. Horatio’s ‘wondrous strange’ (here, referring to the apparent ubiquity of the Ghost’s voice) is as…

Pirates and ‘turning Turk’ in Renaissance drama
Probably the best-known pirate incident in Renaissance drama is the interception of Hamlet's ship by ‘a pirate of very warlike appointment’ ( iv .vi.14–15) which becomes the means by which he gets back to Denmark while Rosencrantz and Guildenstern sail on towards England. Nineteenth-century readers were so troubled by this coincidence that several of them, independently, came to the conclusion that Hamlet had prearranged the interception as part …
Travel and Drama in Shakespeare's Time
This book explores interconnections between voyage narratives and travel plays in a period of intense foreign relations and the incipient colonization of the New World. Eminent Renaissance scholars use historical inquiry and textual analysis to offer readings of narrative and dramatic texts, envisaged both in the context of the period and from the far-reaching perspective of Britain's cultural history. Plays like The Spanish Tragedy, Doctor Faust…
