Abstract: | |||||
In the absence of concrete information about the Whitefriars stage, a prudent
foundation on which to build is a model of a generic Jacobean playhouse stage
platform, if any such thing can be said to have existed. This thesis discusses the
various stage spaces of the period and attempts to construct a generalised vision of the
early modem stage by breaking down the various early modem performance spaces
into their pertinent features. In a comparative analysis, the corresponding stage
fixtures of the Whitefriars playhouse are addressed In a similar manner,
deconstructing the space with an aim toward its reconstruction. There are many gaps
in the evidence regarding this particular performance space, but when the Whitefriars
specific information is compiled and combined with the commonalities found
between other comparable venues, this infamously obscure stage may begin to be
conjecturally reconstructed.
