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 BrookeCast list:The King: Jim LockeRombelo: David PurdyKing Valentia: blueriveririsMucedorus, the Prince of Valentia: Jake MaliziaAnselmo: llamaartAmadine, the King's daughter of Arragon: Jenn BrodaSegasto, a Nobleman: Larry WilsonEnuie (Envy): SoniaTremelio, a Captaine: Rob MarlandBremo, a wilde man: Alan Maps
