"The Comic Structure of the Globe: History, Direct Address, and the Representation of Laughter in a Reconstructed Playhouse" https://www.worldshakesbib.org/entry/bbbc693/ Author: Caldwell, William Casey. Type: Journal Article Year: 2013 Publication Information: Shakespeare Bulletin 31, no. 3 (2013): 375–403. Annotation: Focusing on Shakespeare's Globe Theatre, argues that a sense of historical difference has been built into reconstructed early modern playhouses to comic effect, derived from the juxtaposition of two images: that of the architecture of the interior of the Globe and that of the modern spectators. Suggests that juxtaposition of these two images creates a special comic tension. Language: English Tags: Shakespeare's Stage: Public Playhouses WSB Update: Winter 2013 WSB Record Number: bbbc693
