Focusing on the Children of the Queen’s Revels’ final years, this dissertation offers new readings of the company, closely informed by early modern understandings of masculine ‘youth’. An engagement with the company’s repertory 1609-1613 and its changing relationship with its largely youthful, gallant audience aims to shed new light on these plays from the perspective of their engagement with the changing status of the actors who perform them. The essay thus seeks to offer fresh insight on the Whitefriars ‘children’ as distinct from the company of actual children from which they evolved.
