This Isle is Full of Monsters: Shakespeare's Audiences and the Supernatural
Devils crawled up from hell. Angels descended from the heavens. Sorcerers, fairies and witches moved amongst the audience. At the cusp of the Enlightenment, Tudor and Jacobean theaters were certainly places of enchantment. But for the citizens watching the play, how much did the supernatural mean to them?
Historian and Tour Guide Leader at Shakespeare's Globe, Jon Kaneko-James explores the supernatural world that formed the everyday life of the 16th and 17th century audience member: from the sorcerers who walked London's streets, to demonic possession, the portrayal of witches, and the surprisingly widespread English belief in fairies
