| biography:
| Playwright, born in Rye, East Sussex, SE England, UK. He came of a literary family, and studied at Cambridge, but little else is known about him apart from his theatrical work. It is difficult to disentangle his own plays from those in which he collaborated with Beaumont, Massinger, Rowley, and Shakespeare. He is best known for his collaboration with Beaumont in such works as Philaster (1610), A King and No King (1611), and The Maid's Tragedy (1611). Collaboration with Shakespeare probably resulted in Two Noble Kinsmen and Henry VIII. |
