More about the book

Focusing on the unique theatrical landscape of England during its republican era, this collection showcases five plays that reflect the innovative adaptations of dramatists to the political climate. Three of the texts are edited for the first time, revealing how theatre evolved to address ideological concerns, incorporate folk celebrations, and respond to contemporary events. Clare emphasizes that rather than merely surviving, the theatre transformed, allowing for both direct and subtle critiques of the ruling policies of the time.
