Leading actors will come right out along this platform and deliver their soliloquies directly to the crowd.

Read the excerpt from The Time Traveler’s Guide to Elizabethan England.The following examples show how famine hits the Cumberland parish of Greystoke. Here "a poor fellow destitute of succor” is found in the highway and is carried to the constable’s house, where he dies. A miller’s daughter dies in her bed, weakened from lack of food. A beggar boy from the Scottish Borders is found writhing in agony in the road and dies soon afterward "in great misery.” Another "poor, hunger-starved beggar boy” is found in the street and carried into a house, where he dies. A widow is discovered dead in a barn. A four-year-old local boy dies "for want of food and means,” as does his mother.
