Website of the Week (WoW) #102: Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation Project
Step back into the world of early modern theatre–as well as its literary, social, and economic context–with this archive of manuscripts from actor Edward Alleyn and his father-in-law Philip Henslowe. Essays add to your visit as you look into the theatrical life not only of Henslowe and Alleyn but also of Thomas Middleton, Ben Jonson, and many other notable personalities of the theatre.

And now for our milestone Website of the Week (WoW) #100…
The Performing the Queen’s Men Project gathered together a group of scholars and theater professionals to stage three of the plays done by the original “all-star” troupe that toured Elizabethan England. The plays were rehearsed and produced in conditions approximating those of the original company based on current understanding of Elizabethan production practice.
The website is interactive, with modules taking the user through the company’s decision-making processes, specific production techniques, or allowing the user to explore issues raised by the project.
This 100th WoW echoes our very first which coincidentally also involved theater in Canada (see our posts from June 20, 2011). We look forward to sharing more WoWs with you as we continue our indexing.
