Discover the intriguing tale of Mucedorus, a play often mistakenly attributed to Shakespeare in its 1610 edition. While it was housed in the library of Charles the Second, the authorship may actually belong to Robert Greene (1558 - 1592). Celebrated for its popularity, this play is referenced in the 1611 Beaumont and Fletcher work, The Knight of the Burning Pestle. Mucedorus was a tremendous success, captivating audiences with its whimsical charm akin to a nursery tale. Acted by traveling companies long after the Commonwealth, it impressively went through seventeen editions between 1598 and 1700—an unmatched feat in pre-Restoration drama. Join us as we delve into this delightful absurdity, expertly narrated by ToddHW and Tucker Brooke.
