This major international conference at the University of Toronto is
being organized by the SSHRC-funded "Shakespeare and the Queen's Men"
project in association with Poculi Ludique Societas (PLS). The project,
a joint venture led by Alexandra Johnston (REED, University of Toronto)
and Helen Ostovich (McMaster University), aims to recreate the staging
conditions of a sixteenth-century touring company in order to study and
test scholarly theories about acting styles and repertory through
performance practice. The conference will feature keynote addresses
followed by thematically organized seminars on the Queen's Men and their
theatrical contemporaries, including questions of repertory, acting
styles, and touring, as well as ensemble and casting issues.
Participants will have a rare opportunity to see three Queen's Men plays
(King Leir, Three Ladies of London, and The Famous Victories of Henry
the Fifth) in different venues in Toronto and Hamilton reflecting the
range of playing spaces available to touring companies. We invite papers
dealing with theatrical practice in the plays of the Queen's Men and
other companies of the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries or
addressing theatre-historical questions pertaining to the works of
Shakespeare, his contemporaries and collaborators, and their borrowings
from or transformations of theatrical material of the 1580s and 90s.
Related concerns might include the social history of playing, the
history of censorship, provincial and metropolitan conditions of
performance, or early dramaturgy, including but not limited to questions
of staging, clowning, extemporization, jigs, etc. Submissions from
graduate students and theatre practitioners doing work in these fields
would be particularly welcome.
