This book breaks the traditional boundaries that have separated the histories of the first actresses and the early female playwrights. It brings the approaches of new histories and historiography to bear on old stories to make alternative connections between women working in the business of theatre. It traces a line of influence from the time of the first theatres Royal to the rebellion that resulted in the creation of a player's co-operative, and offers a fresh approach to the history of women, seeing their neglected plays in the context of performance.
