Description
"In Children of the revels: the boy companies of Shakespeare's time and their plays," Michael Shapiro describes the origins of the boys' troupes , the institutions to which they belonged, the theaters where they played, and the psychology of the audiences who watched them. Throughout the book, he uses this background material to analyze works which major dramatists wrote specifically for the children's troupes." -- Book jacket.
