Licence Taken Borrowed Prurience and the First Whitefriars Company
View through CrossRef
Abstract
The first Whitefriars company, or the ‘King’s Revels’, was a short lived failure: a boys’ company that survived just over a year, leaving behind it a flotilla of lawsuits and prison terms for debt. Its eight known plays are tawdry and imitative. Two were revived from earlier performances and four were composed by playwrights/ shareholders who had written, at most, one other play. Those plays which are conclusively accepted as written for the Whitefriars repertory are Lording Barry’s Ram Alley (16w), John Day’s Humour out qf Breath (1608), Gervase Markham and Lewis Machin’s The Dumb Knight (1608),John Mason’s The Turke (1609), and Edward Sharpham’s Cupid’s Whirligig (1607).1 The quarto editions of these five plays boast of performances ‘by the Children of the Kings Reuels’.2 In addition, I follow Harold Hillebrand in maintaining thatJohn Day’s Law Tricks (1608) was part of the Whitefriars repertory.
