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 LEMDO’s 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:
Fair Em (edited by Brett Greatley-Hirsch), which is being taught by Andrew Bozio.
Gallathea, which was an assigned text at the University of Victoria in Dr. Janelle Jenstad’s
ENSH 352 course in Fall 2023.
Godly Queen Hester (semi-diplomatic text), for the use of King Edward’s School Birmingham in 2024-25.
The Golden Age, which was performed at the joint conference of the Classical Association of the
Canadian West (CACW)/Classical Association of the Pacific Northwest (CAPN) in Vancouver
in March 2025.
Hamlet (edited by David Bevington and in the process of being revised by Janelle Jenstad),
which was taught by Thomas Dabbs.
Mucedorus, which was an assigned text at the University of Victoria in Dr. Janelle Jenstad’s
ENSH 352 course in Fall 2023 and for Dr. Brett Greatley-Hirsch’s English and Theatre
Studies Level 2 students (see performance here).
