Abstract:
The theater familiar to most modern viewers had a lowly mediaeval birth--in churches, on festival platforms, and in the great halls of the European nobility. Hosted by Professor Richard Beacham of King's College London, this program weaves together elaborate visual tours of the Globe as Shakespeare would have known it, the Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, and the Teatro Farnese in Parma. Along with the latest scholarly research, this film surveys the evolution of Elizabethan and Renaissance stage formations and traces the conventions they established.
