This book presents a ground-breaking, comprehensive study of the modern performance history of plays in the John Fletcher canon, excluding his collaborations with Shakespeare. It examines how seventeen of Fletcher's plays have been interpreted in British productions.

In addition, the book offers a consideration of the contexts in which these productions took place, from the early twentieth century 'Elizabethan Revival' to the more politicized theatrical cultures of the 1960s and beyond.

Revived with Care opens a window on some of the theatrical developments of the past 135 years, in the context of radical changes in the presentation and reception of early modern drama, while for theatre practitioners it provides ideas and inspiration for exploring little-known but powerful plays in exciting new productions.

The book will be of great interest to students, scholars and practitioners working in the field of theatre and performance studies.

Industry Reviews

'What really shines out from [the] book is what a nurturing, energising and valuable enterprise putting on plays can be.The productions Malin discusses are fully and thoughtfully described and contextualised in a chatty and pungent style informed by an acute theatrical intelligence. In keeping with his title, Revived with Care, Malin treats the stage history of each of these plays with care, and anyone planning to produce any of them in future will need to read this book.' Lisa Hopkins in Cahiers Elisabethains 106 (November 2021)
