https://www.pbs.org/wnet/shakespeare-uncovered/files/2015/01/shak13_vid_theatshlon.png19201080This series of videos from Shakespeare Uncovered presents the practices and beliefs held by the Elizabethans during Shakespeare’s time. The gallery explores the ideas and attitudes of average people as well as monarchs regarding witchcraft and specifically addresses Elizabeth’s response to attacks upon the throne. Two videos delve into the serious beliefs surrounding suicide and ghosts. This gallery also explores Shakespeare’s sources for historical research, the topic of boys and men playing female roles, the role of theater in London and the idea that Shakespearian Theater was akin to big box office theater of our present day.
