A Shakespearean Theater (Spectacular Visual Guides) Flexibound – March 17, 2015

This is honestly one of the coolest theater history texts I've encountered in a long while. It's beautifully illustrated and and *smart*. It looks like a children's text—and is probably suitable for older, intellectually curious children and pre-teens—but it's incredibly useful in the high school and college classroom, as well. Not only does the book, in a record-few number of pages, provide perspective on Shakespeare's theaters and company, but works to provide a historical and social context for those elements in the greater history of the theater and in 16th-/17th-century London. I recommend this, especially, to any theater instructor looking for good historical visual aids. Also, at MSRP $8 (it was selling on Amazon for $4 when I purchased), you can't go wrong. It's a steal.

As stated in the description, the book was designed for children.However, the illustration and organizations bring the text to life.I needed a quick illustrated overview of The Globe and this was more than I expected.It is a wonder book for adults and children.I highly recommend this book.

This is a well-illustrated book that any adult student of theatre could learn from (I have two degrees in the subject!), and it won't appeal just to kids. Nice drawings and text.

This visually stunning book is written for ages 10 and up. I've used this book mostly with older middle school and high school ages. This brief guide starts with the history of drama, but focuses on the Elizabethan period specifically. Though it is short, this book is packed with information and beautiful illustrations. I highly recommend this book for drama studies, world history classes, and Shakespeare units.

It was a gift for my 10 yr. old niece who is interested in Shakespeare and the Globe Theatre. She hasn't received it yet but I know she will love it.

A wonderful, educational book that looks like new and arrived promptly.

This is a beautiful book with really nice illustrations. Very much worth the money!

What a beautiful and informative book. great for teachers and parents too!

Good book, very informative.quick delivery

Lovely book full of detail

Dieses optisch beeindruckende Buch ist für Kinder ab 10 Jahren geschrieben. Ich habe dieses Buch hauptsächlich für ältere verwendet. Das Buch beginnt mit der Geschichte des Dramas, konzentriert sich jedoch besonders auf die elisabethanische Zeit. Obwohl es kurz ist, enthält dieses Buch viele Informationen und schöne Illustrationen. Ich empfehle dieses Buch wärmstens für Theaterstudien, Weltgeschichtskurse und Shakespeare-Einheiten.
