Description:Excerpt:It is not quite true to say that this IS the only method of stage management yet suggested, for early plays, like Nice Wanton (1560) and Jocasta obviously were written for no such system. Most of the earlier dramas frankly avoid all properties. Nice Wanton requires nothing 'in the Way of setting, and the scene is practically the stage itself. Jocasta is more elaborate, for it requires a house front at either side of the stage but, built upon classical models, it has but one scene, the place of action never changing. So complex a play as The Contention of Liberal ity and Prodigality with its homely bower for Virtue and its palace for fortune; recurring throughout the play, suggests a similar classic'staging, but rather more highly elabo rated. Most Elizabethan plays, however, cannot be staged at all according to the classical method, or according to the.simple method of the early plays, though some, in their numerous unlocated scenes, do suggest the latter. The alternation theory therefore remains the only one yet suggested at all applicable to most plays.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
