"Presupposing no specialist musical knowledge, this book offers a fresh perspective
on the dramatic role of music in the plays of Shakespeare and his early seventeenth-century
contemporaries. Simon Smith argues that many plays used music as a dramatic tool,
inviting culturally familiar responses to music from playgoers. Music cues regularly
encouraged audiences to listen, look, imagine or remember at dramatically critical
moments, shaping meaning in plays from The Winter's Tale to A Game at Chess, and making
theatregoers active and playful participants in playhouse performance. Drawing upon
sensory studies, theatre history, material texts, musicology and close reading, Smith
argues for the importance of music in familiar and less well-known plays including
Antony and Cleopatra, Othello, The Revenger's Tragedy, Sophonisba, The Spanish Gypsy
and A Woman Killed With Kindness"
