This book describes the theatres of the time of Shakespeare and Ben Jonson in the light of the contemporary architectural thought and building design. John Orrell incorporates recent discoveries about the structure of theatres such as the Red Lion playhouse (1567) and the Paved Court Theatre, Somerset House (1632) in a re-examination of old assumptions about their design and origins.
