  Examines Caroline theatre as a space where the concerns of the English Roman Catholic community are staged. This title juxtaposes an analysis of Queen Henrietta Maria's performances which showcased to an elite audience her role as defender of English Catholics, against an exploration of how this community responded to such a startling vision.
