The plays include: "Fulgens and Lucrece", by Henry Medwall, "The Four PP", by John Haywood, "Ralph Roiser Doister", by Nicholas Udall, "Suposes", by George Gascoigne, and "Gammer Gurton's Needle". This fantastic collection is highly recommended for all fans of the stage, and constitutes a must-read for comedy lovers. Many classic books such as this are becoming increasingly rare and expensive.
