About Beyond Shakespeare

From the earliest plays in English, to the closing of the theatres in 1642, a whole world of exciting drama was being created and staged - and it wasn’t all by just one guy named Shakespeare. However, apart from a few noble exceptions, most plays from the Early Modern period are passed over, ignored, or simply unknown - and Beyond Shakespeare is here to uncover them! With full audio productions, exploratory read-throughs, recordings of fragmentary and extant material, and fascinating discussions on other texts not directly dramatic,  the Beyond Shakespeare website, podcast and vlog brings you the drama that shaped the theatrical world - as well as details of upcoming live performances. So if your knowledge of Early Modern drama is limited to Shakespeare, why not Go Beyond at: beyondshakespeare.org
