In requiring artificial light, the early modern indoor theatre had to interrupt the action so that the candles could be attended to, if necessary. This Element explores how the interval affected composition and stagecraft and how amphitheatre plays were converted for indoor performance (and vice versa).

This book considers the relationship between the vogue for putting the Ottoman Empire on the English stage and the repertory system that underpinned London playmaking.
