The GEES Project challenges the old assumption that girls were not allowed to perform on the early English stage. It explores girls’ participation in English dramatic culture from its earliest beginnings, and shows that they took active roles in religious drama, court masques, royal entries, civic pageants, and household entertainments: basically everywhere except the commercial London stage of Shakespeare and his contemporaries.
