{"product_id":"9780300263541","title":"The dream factory","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1576, in a muddy field in Shoreditch, James Burbage erected London's first purpose-built commercial playhouse. A place of high culture and quick profit, run by cunning dreamers, the Theatre for the first time offered London's players the chance to control what they staged. At a time when playgoing was held to be close to a sin, this entertainment factory was a flashpoint for controversy - but would also become Shakespeare's first theatre, where he learned to ply his trade before his company moved to the Globe. Through the life of this little-known playhouse, Daniel Swift tells the story of how Shakespeare became Shakespeare, and the Elizabethan stage began to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Yale University Press","offers":[{"title":"Daniel \/ Swift","offer_id":55645256909173,"sku":"9780300263541","price":25.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0289\/5334\/6096\/files\/9780300263541.jpg?v=1752924332","url":"https:\/\/goldenharebooks.pro\/products\/9780300263541","provider":"Golden Hare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
