The play only ran for 9 days in August 1624 - the political stuff, despite being disguised with the (arguably racist) chess allegory, was too volatile, and the censors intervened. There’s also extreme and sexual violence, but that’s normal for Jacobean drama.
The company is also doing a live performance I can’t be part of, but when the YouTube material is released I’ll post a link. #EarlyModern #EarlyModernDrama #Middleton #ThomasMiddleton https://social.coop/@CommonMugwort/112914852429640728 -

It’s not that we dislike Will Shakespeare, it’s that he gets plenty of stage time. His contemporaries don’t, and some of them are 🔥🔥🔥

I’m a member of a group that aims to perform - in some fashion - every single British play* that fellow from Stratford didn’t write:

A play about a rebellion which marches on a major city and fades away following negotiation to disband the rebel force...
The Life and Death of Jack Straw (Full Cast Audio Adaptation) https://audioboom.com/posts/7446236-the-life-and-death-of-jack-straw-full-cast-audio-adaptation #BeyondShakespeare #EarlyModern #EarlyModernDrama #TheatreHistory -
This wildly ambitious project to consider for performance every single British play text from the earliest to 1642 (except the ones by that guy from Stratford) is not supported by any research body or cultural institution. It’s all done by volunteers, and supported by patrons. We’ve found some real gems, and we have the skills to stage entire seasons of them.

"For there it is, crackt in an hundred shivers..." My article "Destroying Things on the Early Modern English Stage" is now available in the journal Early Modern Literary Studies. This is part of a (long-delayed) project on theatrical failure in early modern England. #shakespeare #earlymoderndrama #theaterhistory #theater #theaterprops #performancestudies #theatercostume #theatricalfailure https://journals.shu.ac.uk/index.php/EMLS/article/view/315

It's an honor to join the advisory board for "Early Theatre"--a journal that has played a formative and important (and, frankly, enjoyable) role in my development as a scholar of early modern theater history. I'm especially excited to be joining the board as part of such an intellectually strong, diverse, and vibrant group of colleagues. #theaterhistory #theatre #earlymoderndrama #humanities #academic #theatrehistory #histodons #drama https://earlytheatre.org/earlytheatre/issue/view/483

Proofsday! Look for "Destroying Things on the Early Modern Stage" soon in "Early Modern Literary Studies" and read all about how (and why) the early modern theater broke, ripped, burned, smashed, tore, and ate things up. #earlymoderndrama #theater #performancestudies #theaterhistory #Shakespeare #theaterprops #theatercostumes
