Website of the Week (WoW) #113: Early Modern London Theatres

This very interesting database includes only information from Primary Sources, that is documents written before 1642, which were subsequently seen and transcribed (copied) by writers in Secondary Sources, that is documents written after 1642. In this way, the database both provides information which was contemporary with the early theatres and also identifies the means by which that information came to be known more widely in the centuries afterwards.

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.


Henslowe-Alleyn Digitisation Project

The Archive of Dulwich College in London, England, holds thousands of pages of manuscripts left to the College by its founder, the eminent actor Edward Alleyn (1566-1626).

And now for our milestone Website of the Week (WoW) #100……

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.
