Minneapolis Theatre Garage to Present COMPLEAT FEMALE STAGE BEAUTY, 5/18 - 6/2
by Mark Valdez - April 25, 2012
In Shakespeare's time, all female roles were played by men (often boy apprentices), who learned to create an idealized version of femininity onstage. This practice continued throughout the Jacobean era until the theatres were closed by Oliver Cromwell in 1642. When Charles II returned from his exile on the continent in 1661, the theatres reopened and actors initially resumed the tradition of men-as-women. But the new monarch had an appreciation for women onstage and the old practice was quickly abolished.
