How to act in Elizabethan theater
• Against realism– Female roles played by boys– Doubling or tripling of roles– Lines learned roughly or poorly– Rehearsal time was minimal• Stylized movements and gestures• Improvisation must have been used
frequently
![Page 13: The renaissence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557d8eefd8b42ab00f8b4be3/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Playhouses
• Multi-sided open-air theaters built outside city limits of London– City forbade theater
on moral grounds– However, Queen
Elizabeth and other nobles supported theatre financially, so it flourished
![Page 14: The renaissence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557d8eefd8b42ab00f8b4be3/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Private Theaters
• Private meant they were indoors, not that they excluded people– Admission was more expensive, so poorer class
would be excluded only because they couldn’t afford it
• Staged productions in winter months or nighttime
• Smaller than public theaters• Stage probably extended to side walls• Pit seating faced one direction; galleries
and boxes faced three sides

End of an Era

iniquity and taught immorality– Outlawed all theatrical activities

How did the set-up affect the plays that Shakespeare presented?
In social system, it shows how poor the poor people are and how rich the wealthy people are. Shakespeare’s plays reflect the big difference between the classes of people.

CHRISTOPHER MARLOWE
![Page 38: The renaissence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557d8eefd8b42ab00f8b4be3/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
Christopher Marlowe
Born in Canterbury, England, in 1564.
While Christopher Marlowe's literary career lasted less than six years, and his life only 29 years, his achievements, most notably the play The Tragicall History of Doctor Faustus, ensured his lasting legacy.
He studied at the University of Cambridge.
In London related to the Admirals’ Men, a troupe of actors for which he wrote most of his works.
![Page 39: The renaissence](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022052904/557d8eefd8b42ab00f8b4be3/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Literary career
The major works of Marlowe contain a central character, dominated by passion and doomed to destruction by excessive ambitions.
They are also characterized by the beauty and the sound of the language and its emotional force, that occasionally rampage till you drop in the bombast. The best-known poetic work of Marlowe is the passionate Shepherd (1599)

Plays
• Dido, Queen of Carthage (c.1586) (possibly co-written with Thomas Nashe)
• Tamburlaine, part 1 (c.1587)• Tamburlaine, part 2 (c.1587–1588)• The Jew of Malta (c.1589)• Doctor Faustus (c.1589, or, c.1593)• Edward II (c.1592)• The Massacre at Paris (c.1593)

Legend It is said that it was a secret agent of the Government and that his friends included prominent personalities of the time, such as sir Walter Raleigh.
Marlowe was atheist sympathizer of Machiavelli and led a dissolute and adventurous life.
In 1593 he was accused of heresy, but until it was possible to take action against it, in May of that same year he was stabbed to death in a tavern in Deptford, for refusing, apparently, to foot the Bill for dinner, although the circumstances of his death remain a mystery.
