No adults were seen on-stage in this theatre, which was stocked solely by acting boys, resulting in a satirical and scurrilous method of play presentation. Were the boys specifically targeted for skills they may have possessed which would have been applicable to this type of play presentation? And, was this method of 'recruitment' typical or atypical of Elizabethan theatre?"--|cProvided by publisher. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 648 7 16th century|2fast 648 7 1500-1600|2fast 650 0 Theater|zEngland|zLondon|xHistory|y16th century.|0https:// id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010116269 650 0 Child actors|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/ sh85023522|zEngland|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/ n82068148-781|xHistory|y16th century.|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/subjects/sh2002006122 650 0 English drama|yEarly modern and Elizabethan, 1500-1600 |xHistory and criticism.|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh2008103081 650 0 Theater and society|0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/ subjects/sh85134565|zEngland|0https://id.loc.gov/ authorities/names/n82068148-781|xHistory|y16th century. |0https://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2002006122 650 7 Theater.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1149217 650 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/958235 650 7 Child actors.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/854279 650 7 Theater and society.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1149315 651 7 England|zLondon.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/ 1204271 651 7 England.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1219920 655 4 Electronic books. 655 7 Criticism, interpretation, etc.|2fast|0https:// id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 History.|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aAckroyd, Julie.|tChild actors on the London stage, circa 1600.|dEastbourne : Sussex Academic Press ; Chicago, IL : John Wiley & Sons, Inc.; Canada : Sussex Academic Press (Canada), 2017|z9781845198480|w(DLC) 2016044479|w(OCoLC)958084602 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=1496856|zOnline eBook.
