Children of the Queen's Revels: A Jacobean Theatre Repertory Book

This is the first book-length study of the Children of the Queen's Revels, the most important of the children's companies which challenged the adult stage in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It is also the first detailed consideration of the company and their plays since Michael Shapiro's Children of the Revels (1977). Combining theatre history and critical analysis, the book explores the history and repertory of the Queen's Revels company, and provides extensive accounts of plays by Francis Beaumont, George Chapman, John Fletcher, John Marston and Thomas Middleton.Read More

  • Product Description

    Between 1603 and 1613, The Queen's Revels staged plays by Francis Beaumont, George Chapman, John Fletcher, Ben Jonson, John Marston and Thomas Middleton, all of whom were at their most innovative when writing for this company. Combining theatre history and critical analysis, this study provides a history of the children's company, and an account of their repertory. It demonstrates the involvement in dramatic production of dramatists, shareholders, patrons, audiences and actors alike, and reappraises issues such as management, performance style and audience composition.
