A 'ghost' awaits his cue
Theater--England--History--16th century
Theater--England--History--17th century
Ghost (Fictitious character : Shakespeare)
Description: In this illustration, a 'ghost' prepares to ascend the ladder and appear on stage via the trapdoor. Two young apprentices mechanically operate the trapdoor, which slides back and forth on specially constructed grooves. Aside from the ghost and apprentices, numerous wooden posts support the stage from below.
Scholarly Signifiance: This illustration provides a view of "Hell," the conventional Renaissance theatrical term for the area directly beneath the proscenium stage. Among the numerous Renaissance plays that make use of this Renaissance stage machinery/special effect, perhaps Shakespeare's <em>Hamlet</em> and Marlowe's <em>Doctor Faustus</em> are the two best known.
