Not only did Shakespeare write his plays with them in mind, but they were also the first group to revive his plays, and the first to have them revised, either by Shakespeare himself or by other dramatists after his retirement. Drawing on theatre history, performance studies, cultural history and book history, \u003ci\u003eShakespeare in the Theatre: The King's Men\u003c\/i\u003e reappraises the company as theatre artists, analysing in detail the performance practices, cultural contexts and political pressures that helped to shape and reshape Shakespeare's plays between 1603 and 1642. Reconsidering casting and acting styles, staging and playing venues, audience response, influence and popularity, and local, national and international politics, the book presents case-studies of performances of \u003ci\u003eMacbeth\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Tempest\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Winter's Tale\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRichard II\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eHenry VIII\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOthello\u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003ePericles\u003c\/i\u003e alongside a broader reappraisal of the repertory of the company and the place of Shakespeare's plays within it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eLucy Munro\u003c\/b\u003e is a\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003electurer in Shakespeare and Early Modern Drama at King's College London, UK.
