Rothenburg in 1604 and 1606, and eight by Green himself at Passau and Gräz in the winter of 1607-8.[1] They number thirty in all, as follows: Christabella, Romeo and Juliet,[2] Amphitryo,[3] The Duke of Florence,[4] The King of Spain and the Portuguese Viceroy,[5] Julius Caesar, Crysella,[6] The Duke of Ferrara,[7] Nobody and Somebody,[8] The Kings of Denmark and Sweden,[9] Hamlet,[10] Orlando Furioso,[11] The Kings of England and Scotland,[12] Hieronymo the Spanish Marshal,[13] Haman and Esther,[14] The Martyr Dorothea,[15] Doctor Faustus,[16] The King of Arragon,[17] Fortunatus,[18] Joseph the Jew of Venice,[19] The Clever Thief,[20] The Duke of Venice,[21] Barabbas Jew of Malta, The Dukes of Mantua and Verona, Old Proculus, Lear King of England, The Godfather, The Prodigal Son,[22] The Count of Angiers, The Rich Man.[23]

The lists of 1620 and 1626 do not bear out Fleay's assumption that the repertories they represent were wholly made up of plays taken out by Browne in 1592.[24]

  1. Cf. pp. 279, 281, 283. The Dresden list is in Cohn, cxv.
  2. Played at Nördlingen in 1604. Cohn, 309, prints a German version from a Vienna manuscript.
  3. Possibly Heywood's The Silver Age.
  4. Green played at Gräz in 1608 'Von ein Herzog von Florenz der sich in eines Edelmann's Tochter verliebt hat'. This seems too early for Massinger's Great Duke of Florence, but suggests the same story.
  5. Possibly 1 Jeronimo.
  6. Possibly Dekker's Patient Grissel.
  7. Played at Nördlingen and Rothenburg in 1604. Bolte, 177, prints from a Danzig manuscript a later German version based on Marston's Parasitaster.
  8. Played by Green at Gräz in 1608, in a version extant in a Rein manuscript; a later one is in the 1620 collection. Cf. p. 282.
  9. Possibly Clyomon and Clamydes.
