Cue for Treason
Buy the book from:
Peter Brownrigg flees local oppression and joins a company of travelling players, where he meets another talented young actor hiding a dangerous identity. Their theatrical lives draw them into a conspiracy against Elizabeth I and a race to expose the plot.
The novel links popular theatre, enclosure disputes, London performance and royal politics. Shakespeare appears within a working company rather than as an isolated genius, and Trease gives the adventure equal male and female agency.
