"Shakespeare had a financial stake in four playhouses, which are, therefore, important. They would be important, however, even if he had nothing to do with them, for they spanned, even defined, the whole of the golden age of English drama and were as famous then as they are now. Many of the best plays of the time were written for their stages and many of the best actors played there. This book collects six essays by Herbert Berry about these playhouses; the Theatre in Shoreditch, the Blackfriars, the first and second Globe. It also collects a series of new drawings by C. Walter Hodges about them." - dust jacket. Includes bibliographical references (pages 247-250) and index.
