Advertised in its Prologue as a prequel to Shakespeare's Julius
Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Fletcher and Massinger's The False
One is the first literary work completely to revolve around the
affair between Caesar and Cleopatra. In its deployment of their
liaison as a venue for the exploration and criticism of
contemporary political manoeuvring and its high-spirited and
pungent appropriation of Roman history, the play proves to be one
of the most compelling Jacobean dramatizations of the classical
past. This Revels Plays edition offers the first fully annotated,
single-volume critical edition of The False One, with a thorough
introduction that provides new insights on the date and the theatre
of the play's first performance, examines the playwrights'
reworking of their sources and explores the theatrical potential of
a play that has hitherto regrettably been lost to the dramatic
repertory. -- .
