| Summary: | "In summer 1984 an envelope arrived at Joy Hancox's Manchester home that would change her life: a collection of 516 pieces of card, each one inscribed with mysterious geometric drawings. Once in the possession of the eighteenth-century scholar, poet and secret Jacobite John Byrom (whose biography Joy was then researching), they had lain forgotten for 200 years." "Joy set out to discover the meaning of the drawings and in so doing uncovered long-forgotten secrets of science, magic, mathematics and the occult. Of all the lost information that the drawings revealed the most exciting was contained in over forty engravings which turned out to be diagrammatic representations of the great Elizabethan theatres. This was an amazing discovery. At the time the Globe was being reconstructed in Southwark it has been thought that no plans had survived. However, the drawings of the Globe in the Byrom collection showed that the architects of the replica had miscalculated the dimensions of the theatre. Did this provide the answer for why the new Globe has suffered from sight-line and acoustic problems?" "A historical detective story, Kingdom for a Stage offers the most radical reassessment of the Elizabethan theatres, and Elizabethan theatre, for generations. Cutting through centuries of mist, magic and misunderstanding, Joy Hancox re-presents the world of the Globe for the twenty-first century, as it has never been seen before."--BOOK JACKET. |
