Abstract

Despite its prestige as the home of the leading theatre company in early modern England, the life of the Globe playhouse for more than a third of its active history, between 1625 and the closing of the theatres in 1642, is sparsely recorded and has been imperfectly understood. This essay re-examines the surviving evidence about the King's Men's repertory in the Caroline years, considers the relationship of the Globe to other theatrical enterprises after 1625, and looks again at the composition of the audiences that were drawn to Bankside performances in the period.
