This is the first book-length study of the Children of the Queen's Revels, the most important of the children's companies which challenged the adult stage in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. It is also the first detailed consideration of the company and their plays since Michael Shapiro's Children of the Revels (1977). Combining theatre history and critical analysis, the book explores the history and repertory of the Queen's Revels company, and provides extensive accounts of plays by Francis Beaumont, George Chapman, John Fletcher, John Marston and Thomas Middleton.
