Thomas Dekker's The Shoemaker's Holiday is one of the most popular
of Elizabethan plays, entertaining, racy and vivid in its
characterisation. Revealing a vital portrait of Elizabethan London
and the interaction of social classes within the city, its social
commentary is on the whole optimistic, though darker tones are
discernible. The play has the whole optimistic, though darker tones
are discernible. The play has had a lively history of performance
on both the professional and amateur stage; the roles of Simon and
Madgy Eyre in particular have proved worthy vehicles for the
talents of such performers as Sir Donald Wolfit and Dame Edith
Evans, and a notable production was directed by Orson Wells. The
editors offer a study of the text; a historical and critical
introduction, which includes a study of the play's relationship
with contemporary life and drama and of its place in Dekker's work;
a stage history' a detailed commentary and a reprint of source
materials. -- .
