Ben Jonson has frequently been maligned for his antitheatricalism and inability to conceive of his plays as anything other than a reading experience. Staging Ben: A Collection of Essays on the Theatricality of Jonson's Plays offers a rebuttal of this mischaracterization of Jonson's work. Featuring contributions from both Renaissance literature scholars and theatre practitioners, this volume of essays demonstrates the prodigious theatrical imagination of one of the world's most underappreciated dramatists. It explores the problems associated with producing a Jonson play - from length to topical.
