What have we learned from the first experiments performed at the reconstructed Globe on Bankside? Written by the Leverhulme Fellow appointed to study and record actor use of this new old playhouse, here is an analytical account of the discoveries that have been made in its important first years, in workshops, rehearsals and performances. It shows how actors, directors and playgoers have responded to the demands of historical constraints (and unexpected freedoms) to provide valuable new insights into the dynamics of Elizabethan theatre.
