A Tudor Theatre by Alan Childs
This book explores the importance of the theatre in Tudor times. Throughout the book, the canine history detective, Sherlock Bones, helps the reader find clues in newspapers, photographs, artefacts and other primary sources. These give the reader enough evidence to present a project on the Tudor theatre and to answer questions such as: Why and how did the Tudor theatre become important? What sort of people became actors? Why did they act? and, Who went to the theatre? Throughout the book, there are mysteries and puzzles to solve on these questions and more.
