Lord Chamberlain Globe Theater
1,045 words
The origins of the first Globe have many
interesting details that make up its history.
London developed a demand for entertainment and
theaters. Europeans took the chance and began to
build them. In 1576 the first successful theater
was in operation in London. This building was
simply called "The Theater, " which was owned by
James Burbage and John Brand. Twenty years later

landlord was giving them an unfair lease that
would make them go bankrupt. A f...

Midsummer Nights Dream Lord Chamberlains Men
6,344 words
The lost years 1586 - 1592 There is no documentary
record of Shakespeare's activities from the birth
of the twins, in 1585 until Robert Greene's
complaint about him as an upstart crow in 1592.
Biographers have therefore called these the lost
years. In fact, there is nothing certain known
about him from his birth in 1564 until 1592 except
that he was married in 1582, fathered Susanna in
1583 and the twins Judith and Hamlet in 1585, and
probably attended Stratford Grammar School. The
lack of detai...

The Importance of Sound Theater is an extremely
involved and complex production. It encompasses
play writing, directing, acting, costume, makeup,
scenery, lighting properties, theater
architecture, machinery, special effects,
management, audiences, and criticism (Brockett-b
xi). What this statement fails to include is the
element of sound design as a major theatrical

Peter Brook and the Film Production of Marat/Sade
It is noted within Margaret Croyden's book,
Lunatics, Lovers, and Poets, in the extremely
interesting and informative tenth chapter,
entitled The Achievement of Peter Brook: From
Commercialism to the Avant-Garde, that near the

that would be impossible for almost any other
period of English history, or any other European
empire, for that matter, to match. Although there
was a great rise in literature, it was theater
that catapulted to gre...
