MoEML is pleased to announce the publication of a new peer-reviewed article on the Cockpit or Phoenix Playhouse by Eoin Price, the Tutor in Renaissance Literature at Swansea University and Teaching Associate at The Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham.
This substantial contribution (some 3,400 words) to the Playhouses section of the MoEML Encyclopedia discusses the location and construction of the Cockpit/Phoenix, includes a history of the various playing companies associated with it, and offers a useful, sortable table of its repertoire that shows, for instance, just how prominent playwrights such as James Shirley, John Ford, and Philip Massinger were at that venue.
You will learn about the rivalries between the Red Bull and Blackfriars theatres and the Cockpit/Phoenix, about the nostalgia-driven Beeston’s Boys, about the Shrove Tuesday Riots that led to the re-branding of the Cockpit as the Phoenix, and much more.
Congratulations to Dr. Price on his fine work!
