Did Women Act on Stage? With Pamela Brown - a podcast by Cassidy Cash
from 2022-06-27T13:00:50
One of the most accepted statements you’re liable to find about Elizabethan theater online today is that playing companies were all male companies. The idea of a woman on stage is considered forbidden, or not allowed. However, our guest today, Pamela Brown, has recently published a book calledThe Diva’s Gift to the Shakespearean Stagewhere she presents evidence that women did participate in performances on stage during Shakespeare’s lifetime. Her work challenges what I know I thought I knew about Shakespearean theater, and I’m delighted to have her here today to help clarify this part of Shakespeare’s history for you, too.
