Beginning in 2002, EARLY THEATRE will be publishing 2 issues a year, one in June and the other in December. We are always interested in receiving an article or note on any aspect of early modern performance or theatre history, and are still reviewing material for our December issue. Although EARLY THEATRE has received government funding (Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada) well as support from McMaster University, subscribers play a vital role in the continuation of this journal. Please renew your subscription or begin a new subscription. Right now, $25 a year will pay for the two issues. We need your support. For the next issue, here is the table of contents.
