Performance | 1640 | Cockpit [AKA Phoenix], Drury Lane | William Beeston | Beeston's Boys | CommentsCB has been thought to be the play which the Master of the Revels records as having occasioned the closure of the Cockpit/Phoenix in Drury Lane, and the incarceration of members of the company, at the beginning of May 1640. The earliest extant text (1653), however, includes apparent references to events which occurred late in August of 1640 and possibly also to some early business of the Parliament which opened in November. |

CommentsAs part of Globe Education’s `Read Not Dead’ 2012/13 series, the play was rehearsed only on the day of the single matinee performance, for which the actors were still `on book’. Lucy Munro, who had recommended the selection of the play, provided the programme note. The acting edition, was prepared by Martin Hodgeson as director of the performance. His annotation and direction emphasised gender politics, an emphasis that was furthered by a particularly strong performance from Frances Marshall as Lady Strangelove. The venue was a rectangular room with only two entrances. The audience were seated on all four sides, none more than three rows deep, and stage furniture was minimal. |
