Boys will be Girls will be Boys- the theatre pre and post Restoration by Janet Tennant
By the 17th century a professional theatre was established in England. After the execution of Charles I and the Civil Wars, Charles II, the Merry Monarch, a keen theatre goer, succeeded to the throne in 1660.
The talk looks at the theatre before the Restoration and how it changed, irrevocably, afterwards.
