The Antipodes (GLOBE QUARTOS)

About this book

In the Globe Quarto series co-published with Shakespeares Globe to mark the rediscovery of forgotten plays by Shakespeares contemporaries. The Antipodes includes a play-within-the-play also called The Antipodes which is used as psychotherapy for Peregrine Joylesss obsession with travel books with the aim of recalling him to his marital duties. Bromes audience is also confronted with a picture of the topsy-turviness of the world upside down of London in the 1630s. The play was revived in an adapted form by Gerald Freedman at Shakespeares Globe in 2000.
