The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 2 by E. K. Chambers

"The Elizabethan Stage, Vol. 2" by E. K. Chambers is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the vibrant theatrical scene of the Elizabethan era, detailing various acting companies and the intricacies of performance culture during that time. It primarily focuses on the classification and history of theatrical companies and their performances in London from 1558 to 1616. At the start of the volume, the author introduces the framework for examining the theatrical companies of the period, discussing the dominance of boy companies in early Elizabethan drama. The introduction highlights how the Children of Paul’s, among others, played a significant role in court performances, particularly before adult companies found a firm footing. Chambers sets the stage for a detailed chronicle of various acting troupes and the evolution of performance spaces, hinting at the competitive nature of this theatrical landscape and the shifts in popularity between child and adult performers throughout the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.
