Researching the Rose: Lost Plays & The Rose with Professor David McInnis, 23 March 2026

Subject

Events: webinar

Description

"The vast majority of plays once performed at The Rose Playhouse are now lost, but what can they still reveal about the business of Elizabethan play-making and the audiences who watched them?
The excavations of playhouse foundations by archaeologists has yielded exciting new insights into playing and playgoing, and likewise the excavation of lost plays – their narratives, subject matter, genre, and other features besides the actual playtexts themselves – can help us understand and appreciate playhouse activity from another angle.
Join Professor David McInnes, editor of the Lost Plays Database, to discover how plays become lost and how theatre historians can work with their absence productively, as he explores a handful of particularly tantalising lost plays from The Rose’s repertoire."
