The 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.

These 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.

Editions currently in the LEMDO Classroom are: Fair Em (edited by Brett Greatley-Hirsch), which is being taught in classes by Andrew Bozio (Skidmore College) and Peter Kirwan (Mary Baldwin University). 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. 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). The Three Ladies of London, edited by Chantelle Thauvette and Jessica Dell and forthcoming in the Queen’s Men Editions series. The modern text is being used for a playreading at UVic.
