BOOKS OF THE WORLD| English Renaissance Theatre

Hi there. Welcome to this podcast, from the Canary Islands to the world. 

This is a literary journey without borders. Each episode I explore a work, an author or a literary movement from different corners of the planet. Because books are also passports, and each story brings us closer to different cultures, languages and realities.

If I've discovered anything while studying English literature, it's my passion for Shakespeare. At first glance, his works may seem somewhat weary, because many themes (exiles, magic or usurpation of power) are repeated, but he knew how to denounce the authoritarian monarchy of James I, corruption, and human psychology like no one else.

Among other changes, we can see how the stage design changed forever: first, because the theaters were located on the outskirts, plays were performed at midday to take advantage of the light, and so was the use of decorations like curtains and stage machinery. Furthermore, the audience was priced according to the ticket price.

And with that, I conclude today's episode. See you in the next one!

If you have any comments or suggestions for future episodes, please leave me a comment.
