On Sunday, we, the Dolphin’s Back, and a room-full of participants were lucky enough to see the history of the Blackfriars and the First Playhouse brought to life on the very spot on which it once stood.

By way of a sequel to Callan’s recent post about J.O. Halliwell-Phillips and the place of the fragment, excerpt and ‘scrap’ in theatre history, I want to introduce here another model for doing theatre history and to think about what happens if we don’t excerpt but attempt to present complete sets of documents.
