## Summary

The magnificent dramas of Shakespeare that assumed flesh and motion upon the Globe stage in its golden decade shared the boards with hack plays, near cousins to the present-day soap operas and grade-B westerns. It is easy to forget that the company which produced _Hamlet_ also presented _The London Prodigal_, and that the same Burbage who shook the super-flux as Lear may well have portrayed the ranting, melodramatic husband of _A Yorkshire Tragedy_, a model indeed of a figure tearing a passion to tatters. Masterpieces and minor pieces followed one another in rapid succession in the same playhouse, and the customs of their production were the result of a single repertory system.
