Shakespeare's Two Playhouses
«'With its emphasis on the experience of playgoing in early modern London and its sensitivity to spatial dynamics, this is an exciting and eminently readable contribution to theatre history, which will go straight onto my students' reading lists.' Pascale Aebischer, University of Exeter»

«'With its emphasis on the experience of playgoing in early modern London and its sensitivity to spatial dynamics, this is an exciting and eminently readable contribution to theatre history, which will go straight onto my students' reading lists.' Pascale Aebischer, University of Exeter»
«'… the book as a whole offers a helpful introduction to the theatres of early modern London and how spaces are shaped, legitimized, disturbed and re-imagined by the art that authorizes them.' Charlotte Scott, Shakespeare Survey»
«'Dustagheer's book should prove valuable to those interested in how the history and former repertory of the Blackfriars impacted what the King's Men produced for it, as well as those working on the influence of the Reformation on period playwrights. It will also benefit those interested in architectural and spatial comparisons between the two venues, given its sound history and informed speculations.' Brett Gamboa, Renaissance Quarterly»
