How and when did Shakespeare's audiences laugh, and weep, in early modern theatres? And when laughter, or weeping, were represented on that stage-as they are in hundreds of plays from this period-how were they acted out? This book considers laughter and weeping in the theatres of 1550-1642, arguing that both actions have a peculiar importance in defining the early modern theatrical experience.
