Abstract
This 8000 word essay will be the most comprehensive and up-to-date analysis available of how and to what effect, artificial and natural light were employed and controlled in early modern performance practices, in the commercial playhouses and in court entertainments. It will draw on my own practice-based research, current examples such as the indoor reconstruction at the Globe, Drottningholm Court Theatre in Stockholm and Cesky Krumlov in the Czech Republic, and the comparatively small amount of theatre history writing devoted to this topic. (Illustrations not published in the book will be referenced to my website on early theatre practice, chamberofdemonstrations.com)
