Renaissance Theatre

Renaissance Theatre refers to the dramatic arts that flourished during the European Renaissance, roughly from the late 15th to the early 17th century. This period saw a revival of interest in classical literature and culture, leading to the emergence of remarkable playwrights like William Shakespeare, Christopher Marlowe, and Ben Jonson. Theatre became popular in urban centers, with plays performed in public spaces and dedicated theaters. These works often explored themes of human nature, politics, and morality, marked by rich language and complex characters. The period laid the foundation for modern theatre and significantly influenced Western dramatic traditions.
