What have we discovered about performance practice in the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse since the opening of the intimate candlelit theatre at Shakespeare’s Globe? Playing Indoors reveals the results of a two-year study into the performance of Elizabethan and Jacobean drama in this unique theatre, drawing together insights into early modern stage practice and the observations of today’s actors and spectators. A history of the encounters of artists and audience members who experienced the space first, the book is also a study of the significance of re-imagined theatres like the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse and the Globe. Accessibly written for students, scholars, artists and theatre-goers, Playing Indoors is a valuable contribution to the young field of early modern practice-as-research.
Will Tosh is Lecturer and Research Fellow at Shakespeare’s Globe, London, UK. He led the Indoor Performance Practice Project (2014–16), which examined playing in the candle-lit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, and coordinates Globe Education’s on-going Research in Action series of public workshops. He is the author of Male Friendship and Testimonies of Love in Shakespeare’s England (2016).
