Elizabethan and Jacobean players were largely excluded from earning a living within the boundaries of respectable London. Instead they entertained the city from its margins, with plays of remarkable violence, wit and sensuality. Their theatre survived by reshaping narratives of the distant past or of exotic foreign locations, but the plays still engaged with the deepest conflicts and contradictions of their own time and place. Much recent work on Shakespeare and his contemporaries has been concerned with the difficult task of interpreting the relationship between the plays and the culture that produced them. This unit provides opportunities to test some of this work against a selection of Elizabethan and Jacobean histories, tragedies and comedies which depict dynamic power struggles within the family and the state.
