from Mucedorus · host William Shakespeare

The 1610 edition says it is by Shakespeare, and the play was in a volume of Shakespeare in the library of Charles the Second. But, well, likely not actually a Shakespeare.... Perhaps by Robert Green (1558 - 1592) This play is mentioned as being popular in the 1611 Beaumont and Fletcher play 'The Knight of the Burning Pestle';. In fact, Mucedorus 'was enormously successful. This absurd play, with the merits and defects of a nursery tale, was acted by strolling companies everywhere till long after the Commonwealth, and passed through seventeen editions between 1598 and 1700, a record unequaled in the history of the pre-Restoration drama.' - Summary by ToddHW and Tucker Brooke Cast list: The King: Jim Locke Rombelo: David Purdy King Valentia: blueriveriris Mucedorus, the Prince of Valentia: Jake Malizia Anselmo: llamaart Amadine, the King's daughter of Arragon: Jenn Broda Segasto, a Nobleman: Larry Wilson Enuie (Envy): Sonia Tremelio, a Captaine: Rob Marland Bremo, a wilde man: Alan Mapstone Comedy: Joanna Michal Hoyt Roderigo: Rapunzelina An ould woman: Scotty Smith Ariana, Amadine's maide: Joanna Michal Hoyt Collen, a Counseller: Anna Maria A messenger: Adrian Stephens Mouse the Clown: ToddHW Stage Directions: Estefanía Vidal Editing: ToddHW
