This volume provides a selection of four plays by Philip Massinger
who, from 1625 to 1640, replaced John Fletcher as principal
dramatist for the King's Men, the chief London theatre company for
more than forty years. The selection consists of two of Massinger's
finest comedies, A New Way to Pay Old Debts and The City Madam, and
his two best known tragedies, The Duke of Milan and The Roman
Actor. These plays have interested readers, scholars and critics
for hundreds of years, and although the tragedies have seldom been
performed since the seventeenth century, the comedies have a long
stage tradition. A New Way to Pay Old Debts has been performed more
often than any other play by Shakespeare's contemporaries, and
together with The City Madam continues to delight modern audiences.
