Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-18 00:00:00 Gubacsko Daniel A how-to guide on galloping through a LOT of Lancaster and York history at great speed. There is a good level of social representation and nobility speak to them (when they're not bedding them). Women have the kind of agency usually found in a rare feminist text - wives and mistresses become friends, but they can still be u-turning backstabbers too. And what is this all for? So Shakespeare can 'borrow' and number of lines and ideas and so create "Richard III"

Review # 2 was written on 2013-11-29 00:00:00 Annie Bombardier This collection of essays by actors, academics, and theatre educators provides a useful look at the first 10 years (and a bit) of the reconstructed Globe Theatre in London. From several different perspectives, it becomes clear that one major discovery from this "experiment" has been the energizing effect of the standing audience, known as groundlings. As a dedicated groundling myself (one of the scholars in the book is credited with having seen 30 productions 1996-2007--using the very helpful list in an appendix, I find that I saw 35, some of them twice, mostly standing in the Yard), I have been fascinated by that phenomenon too, and enjoyed seeing what those on stage thought.
