About this book
Stages and Playgoers demonstrates the long, vital tradition of dialogue between stage and audience from medieval, through Tudor, to Jacobean drama. Janet Hill offers new insights into techniques of addressing playgoers from the stage and how they might have operated under particular staging conditions. Hill calls this dialogue "open address," a term that takes in a range of speeches often called "asides," "monologues," and "soliloquies." She argues that open address is a strategy that challenges playgoers, asking for answers that lie outside the stage in the playgoer/playhouse world.
Reviews
"Hill's discussion of the evolution of staging systems and the aims of theatrical representation is admirably detailed, cogent, and persuasive. The framing of larger issues and the placement of these topics in their appropriate theoretical context is handled with exceptional intelligence." Michael Bristol, Department of English, McGill University "A stimulating contribution to scholarship." Anne Lancashire, Department of English, University of Toronto
