Author Information

Marcia Williams went to visit London's Globe Theatre while it was being rebuilt. It wasn't until I was actually there, she says, that the full impact of the environment hit me. Elizabethan actors didn't rehearse; and the audience was encouraged to cheer when they liked something and to shout (and throw things) when they didn't. It must have been quite a scene!
