CADRE: Co-Authored Drama in Renaissance England is a wiki-style forum for researchers to
share evidence and information about the co-authorship – a term that includes practices of
collaboration, revision, and adaptation – of early modern plays and other entertainments.

Inspired by the Lost Plays Database, CADRE seeks to provide a reliable resource for all those
interested in the history and creation of early modern English drama. When complete, the database
will include entries for all known co-authored plays and entertainments, professional and amateur,
from the early sixteenth century to the closure of the theatres in 1642.

The project is also building a helpful introductory guide to attribution studies, a glossary of key
terms, and a bibliography of relevant scholarship. In this beta phase of the database, the editors
have elected to focus on non-Shakespearean drama as they develop and road-test the platform.
