Thomas Heywood

    Thomas Heywood war ein produktiver englischer Dramatiker, der in der späten elisabethanischen und frühen jakobinischen Ära tätig war. Er ist für seine Meisterwerke bekannt, darunter eine bemerkenswerte häusliche Tragödie. Obwohl er behauptete, an zweihundert Theaterstücken beteiligt gewesen zu sein, ist nur ein Bruchteil seines umfangreichen Schaffens erhalten geblieben. Seine Stücke erforschen oft die menschliche Natur und gesellschaftliche Fragen seiner Zeit.

      A Woman Killed with Kindness and Other Domestic Plays
    • The real-life witches had not even come to trial before this dramatization was performed at the original Globe in 1634. Everything is going wrong at a wedding and everyone believes that a local coven is to blame. The play mocks the naivete of those who cannot see what is under their noses.
