Early modern disability studies attends to embodiedness through analysis of disability's physical components, such as illness and impairment, as well as analysis of its constructedness, through the social and cultural conditions that shape impaired bodies' experiences of disability. If drama needs bodies to stage disability, and embodying disability changes the way disability functions in a play, what of how audiences receive and interpret those bodies?
