LEMDO Classroom
Para1The LEMDO Classroom is a mini-anthology of plays that are currently being used in
classrooms or rehearsal halls. Testing texts and critical paratexts via classroom
and rehearsal-hall use is a key part of LEMDOʼs process. Feedback from students and
theatre practitioners—a form of peer review—helps editors and anthology leads improve
the edition and its component parts before it is made permanently available.
Para2These editions are not yet in their final form and are not ready for publication in
any other LEMDO anthology. Students are welcome to cite from these editions for their
coursework. Scholars will likely want to wait for the edition to be published in its
destination anthology before citing from it.
Para3Editions currently in the LEMDO Classroom are:
Godly Queen Hester (semi-diplomatic text), for the use of King Edwardʼs School Birmingham in 2024-25
Mucedorus, which was an assigned text at the University of Victoria in Dr. Janelle Jenstadʼs
ENSH 352 course in Fall 2023
Gallathea, which was an assigned text at the University of Victoria in Dr. Janelle Jenstadʼs
ENSH 352 course in Fall 2023
