Shakespeare's Theatre – C. Walter Hodges

Description: In this book, the author describes in word and picture how the idea of theatre in Shakespeare's time developed gradually from pagan festivals and religious drama to the playhouses of the 16th century. Hodges focusses on the most famous of all those playhouses: The Globe. He describes a typical performance of Julius Caesar there, and writes how theatres were designed and run at the time.

Beautiful, evocative full-colour illustrations throughout.
