This study analyses how, out of anxiety that unruly audiences would destroy the nascent industry of professional drama in England, playwrights sought to limit the effect that their plays could have on the audience. They tried to construct playgoing through their drama in the hopes of creating a less-reactive, more pensive, and controlled playgoer. The result was the radical experimentation in dramaturgy that, in part, defines Renaissance drama. Written for scholars of Early Modern and Renaissance Drama and Theatre, Theatre History, and Early Modern and Renaissance History, this book calls for a new focus on the local economic concerns of the theatre companies as a way to understand the motivation behind the drama of early modern London"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a Introduction : the alterity of early modern audiences -- Audience response to performance : fear of riots, closures and unruly playgoers -- Performance's response to audience : the relationship among audience, performance and reality -- Fictional audience's responses to fictional performances : the didactic role of metadrama -- Unstable texts, active readers; stable performances, non-reactive playgoers -- Anti-mimetic drama : performance's relationship to reality and the playgoer's interpretive agency -- Coda : return to Malfi : the secrecy of performance and the consequences of constructing playgoing. 650 0 $a Theater audiences $z London $z London $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Theater audiences $z London $z London $x History $y 17th century. 650 0 $a English drama $y Early modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a English drama $y 17th century $x History and criticism. 650 0 $a Theater $z London $z London $x History $y 16th century. 650 0 $a Theater $z London $z London $x History $y 17th century. 650 7 $a English drama. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00910737 650 7 $a English drama $x Early modern and Elizabethan. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01710950 650 7 $a Theater. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149217 650 7 $a Theater audiences. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01149328 651 7 $a England $z London. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204271 648 7 $a 1500-1699 $2 fast 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 $i Online version: $a Dunnum, Eric. $s Performing the audience $t Unruly audiences and the theater of control in early modern London. $d Abingdon, Oxon ; New York, NY : Routledge, 2020. $z 9781351252652 $w (DLC) 2019024827 830 0 $a Studies in performance and early modern drama. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20220317030711.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CB7CBE4E68DD11EA9C5A9E4D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
