Summary
Here, envision theatrical London as it existed in Shakespeare's time. First, consider Shakespeare's fundamental intent to 'hold the mirror up to nature': to imitate the living world. Then learn about the colorful milieu of Elizabethan theater; its conventions of physical space, scenery, and costumes; and how the playwright created theatrical 'reality' through language.
