Description
"Join legendary theatre director TINA PACKER, founder of Shakespeare & Company in Western Massachusetts, as she traces the emergence of theatres in Elizabethan London.
Why were there no playhouses in London for hundreds of years, and then in a very short period the city was packed with them? How did they know how to build playhouses? And where did all those playwrights come from? How did the Tudor education system and the Art of Rhetoric lead to the proliferation of playwrights? How did England create its own unique way of building playhouses? And what can modern theatre makers learn from the Rose’s archeological remains?
Tina will draw on her many decades of experience founding and leading one of America’s foremost Shakespeare theatres, and share the discoveries made while performing in their ‘Rose Footprint’ performance venue, based on the dimensions of the original Rose Playhouse."
