{"product_id":"9780300286908","title":"The Dream Factory","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn 1576, in a muddy field in Shoreditch, James Burbage erected London's first purpose-built commercial playhouse. A place of high culture and quick profit, run by cunning dreamers, the Theatre for the first time offered London's players the chance to control what they staged. At a time when playgoing was held to be close to a sin, this entertainment factory was a flashpoint for controversy - but would also become Shakespeare's first theatre, where he learned to ply his trade before his company moved to the Globe. Through the life of this little-known playhouse, Daniel Swift tells the story of how Shakespeare became Shakespeare, and the Elizabethan stage began to flourish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Daniel Swift","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57282409169274,"sku":"9780300286908","price":11.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0423\/0240\/6809\/files\/9780300286908.jpg?v=1789738736","url":"https:\/\/winstonebooks.live\/products\/9780300286908","provider":"Winstone's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
