Abstract

This article charts the collaborative production of a play designed to show that performing literary history enables students' perception of history as process and performance. The play Before & After highlighted conventions of seventeenth-century prologues, epilogues, and gendered theatrical performance techniques through students' performances and participation in a postproduction survey.
