Subject
Events: webinar
Description
"Join Dr Callan Davies as he takes you back to the years around 1587, when The Rose is being built on Bankside while Christopher Marlowe is living north of the river up in Shoreditch, a stone’s throw from The Curtain Playhouse.
His ‘mighty lines’ take shape in its shadow and, perhaps, within its large, rectangular perimeter – a space with very different theatrical architecture to Philip Henslowe’s Rose.
Discover how reimagining part of Marlowe’s canon at or around The Curtain creates a longer, richer spatial history for The Rose’s repertory, and learn how, by drawing connections between 16th-century London playing venues, it is possible to appreciate the fluidity and adaptability of the commercial plays they hosted in a new way."
