What can performance bring to the editing of early modern texts? What might it reveal about the playful, queer and transnational plays of a prolific early modern dramatist? Join us as we create texts fit for a twenty-first century John Fletcher, the dazzling writer who succeeded Shakespeare as the King’s Men’s house playwright, and whose plays are long overdue a revival.

Editing in Action: Fletcher for the 21st Century is part of our ongoing Research in Action series. This series give audiences a chance to be part of the Globe’s exploration of early modern and contemporary performance culture.

Using extracts from well-known and less-familiar plays, Globe actors and leading academics uncover and question the practices of the Shakespearean stage.

Expect discoveries – and expect to be asked for your feedback.
