From Script to Stage to Script

Synopsis
Podcast. Shakespeare’s Birthday Lecture delivered at the Folger Shakespeare Library, Elizabethan Theatre by Tiffany Stern. This lecture considers the relationship between ballads and Shakespeare’s plays on stage and page. Considering the way ballads were traded at playhouses, sung in plays, performed as post-play entertainments, and sold to promote playbooks, Professor Stern examines how ballads, in performance and in broadsheets, came to advertise Shakespeare - and how Shakespeare’s plays, in performance and in playbooks, came to advertise ballads.
