AB  - Argues early modern theatre engaged its audiences by "actively and repeatedly entangling its spectators in uncertainty." Explores indeterminacy of theatrical death through figure of stage corpses (seemingly lifeless but holding possibility of reanimation), through reading of 1 Henry IV and King Lear. Explains how history plays such as Richard II troubled accepted notions of historical past.
