This book attempts a reconstruction of early Cambridge theatres in the context of the professional theatres of Renaissance London. Most of the college halls and chapels in which scaffold-theatres were constructed still stand and records survive in abundance. Alan Nelson surveys some dozen Cambridge college stages, the university's commencement stage, and extra-mural theatrical sites used by travelling professional companies.
