Beyond ShakespeareRichard III or, The English Prophet by Samuel Rowley (Fragment)It's an interesting double bill episode this week, as we contemplate two pieces of evidence for one or two plays on Richard III. The first element comes from the licencing of a play, the other a reported line from a play. Are they the same play? Impossible to tell, but it helps make this episode a little more substantial.
You can find the source for our text here.
There is also an exposition on the Rowley play at the Lost Plays Database.

Rare Exports is the crazy story of an illicit archaeological excavation which unearths the frozen remains of Santa Claus, who then goes on a murderous rampage in search of naughty children. To be honest, it’s not really about archaeology at all, but the Venn diagram of stone age movies and Christmas movies basically only overlaps at this one and a Flintstones Christmas special, and I think we made the right choice.
