Current Research

My research interests concentrate mainly on early modern drama. I have particular interests in the spaces and places of theatre, including especially early modern London and the different venues of court performance. I am also interested in ceremonial performance of all kinds, and have recently completed a Leverhulme-funded research project in this field, resulting in the publication of a book entitled The Language of Space in Court Performance 1400-1625 (CUP 2010).

I am currently completing a book on the staging of Shakespeare's history plays.
