What reading level is Shakespeare's Theater book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Every schoolmaster was a Holofernes and many a band of English mechanics had a histrionic leader in some Bottom. The situa- tion might be compared with athletics in England during the last generation or two. At first reserved mainly for the upper classes and schools and a few professionals employed by them, dramatics soon became the employment and interest of the general public, which, as in the case of football, soon preferred the part of an audience but supported professionals of increasing p...rowess. Indeed the professional actors in sixteenth-century England relied on an appreciative public interest not unlike that which professional athletes receive to-day in Great Britain and in the United States.
What strikes the modern student in the records of these amateurs is their extraordinary audacity.
They hesitated at nothing and remained unconscious of what seem to us absurd improprieties. Holofernes' effort to present the nine worthies and Bottom's essay at Pyramus and Thisbe, lion, wall, and moonlight, are doubtless burlesques that came close to truth.
