armitage comedy richard theatre

The Rover or The Banish'd Cavaliers is a play in two parts written by the English author Aphra Behn. It was a very popular Restoration comedy.
Behn had famously worked as a spy for Charles II against the Dutch. However, Charles was slow to pay her for her services and slow to meet his promises, if he ever paid her at all, and Behn sought to make money first with her poetry, and then with plays and novels. The Rover appeared on the stage in 1677, and it was popular enough that a second part appeared in 1681. The play appeared for a long run, enabling Behn to make a fair income from it (the author received the proceeds from the box office every third night the play ran).Public Domain

A Discourse on Pirates, by Captain Henry Mainwaring by exclassics

Henry Mainwaring,(1587-1653) was an English lawyer, soldier, writer, seaman and politician who sat in the House of Commons from 1621 to 1622. He was for a time a pirate based in Newfoundland and then a naval officer with the Royal Navy. He supported the Royalist cause in the English Civil War. In 1616, shortly after he had given up piracy, he wrote this, addressed to King James I. It is an detailed account of piracy as it existed in the early 17th Century, and consists of sober and accurate fact, far removed from the romantic picture and exaggerated stories current at the time, and even more so today.

The Tempest by WilliamShakespeare

The Tempest is a play by William Shakespeare, probably written in 1610-1611, and thought to be one of the last plays that Shakespeare wrote alone. It is set on a remote island, where the sorcerer Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan, plots to restore his daughter Miranda to her rightful place using illusion and skillful manipulation. He conjures up a storm, the eponymous tempest, to cause his usurping brother Antonio and the complicit King Alonso of Naples to believe they are shipwrecked and marooned on the island. There, his machinations bring about the revelation of Antonio's lowly nature, the redemption of the King, and the marriage of Miranda to Alonso's son, Ferdinand.

This is the second thing I wrote. It follows on from the modern version of Macbeth which was on the BBC a while ago. I was really interested to explore what happened to MacDuff after Macbeth's death.
