The BVSN is an extended community of scholars working in a range of related disciplines, all centred in some way on the editing, performance, translation, publication or reception of drama within an early modern frame. It exists to exchange information, produce scholarship, and further the work of individual scholars at doctoral level and at early stages in their careers.

The current network president is Svenn-Arve Myklebost, Volda University College, Norway.
