3.0

A collaboration between Fletcher ans Massinger, something quite common in the early 1620s. It's an odd story with pirates, and a pirate's daughter, a divorce, with a pop-up lawyer to explain it, a bunch of fake Swiss Guards and a wicked tyrant. Some comic stuff, then a rather half-hearted bloodbath at the end.

Read as part of the REP online readathon of the King's Men repertoire in the lockdown winter of 2021.
