1580s

Give ear, I pray you, and mark it attentively, for you shall hear the tenor of a strange and tragical comedy.

This post is the first in a series that will share our work in the archive, including photographed images, transcriptions, and a brief discussion of some of the archival material we have been surveying.

Our first workshop with The Dolphin's Back took place yesterday (22 January 2017), exploring the earliest surviving play from English commercial theatre on the site of the earliest purpose-built commercial playhouse.

We invite scholars to participate in exploring John Lyly’s Galatea at the Jerwood Space this August.
