Description

The original manuscripts, pre-editted versions. These plays have been written in 16th Century English. We do hope that you enjoy them. A blend of fiction and non-fiction: Chatterton: The Play is based on the life and death of Thomas Chatterton.

His worth as a poet was only recognised to any profound degree ...after his early death.

May that dear poet be at peace. The Tragedies (a comedy): This play is based on the life of William Shakespeare, Britain's greatest writer.

It is a tale of what may have been and of what was. It is a blend of fiction and non-fiction. Nine Days of the Nightingale: This play is based on the life of Lady Jane Grey.

It is a tale of what may have happened, of the despair, of the love, of the sorrow - that may have marked the lives of so many who danced upon the chessboard of that time. The Fields of the Golden Cloth: This play is based on the event of King Henry VIII meeting the French King.

It is a tale of what might have been, what may have been, during that brief time of the field of the cloth of gold -- when two rival Kings strove to outdo each other.
