The Merry Devils
Edward Marston
Bookholder Nicholas
Bracewell, fresh from his triumph holding together his volatile players'
company during a treasonous plot against Queen Elizabeth, is set to
make the galleries of The Queen's Head ring with laughter with a new
comedy, The Merry Devils. The lugubrious landlord is sure mischief will
result. Nicholas sees only a harmless comedy that will not summon up
real devils, but two actors adept at tumbling. How then, during the
crucial scene, do three devils appear on stage, one looking disturbingly
real? And what of the deviltry that follow? One imp, in fact, soon lies
dead beneath the stage...The author's knowledge of Elizabethan
statecraft and his deep affection for the period show in every word.
