Viewing Event Record:
Plays produced at the Globe tend to be spectacular and bawdy
Abstract
The prologue of James Shirley's 'The Doubtful Heir,' performed at the Blackfriars, comments on the unsuitability of the play to its venue. The kind of play usually produced at the Globe, it suggests, leans toward spectacle, bawdiness, and fighting.
