Thomas Hughes was an England English dramatist, a native of Cheshire , entered Queens College, Cambridge , in 1571. He graduated and became a fellow of his college in 1576, and was afterwards a member of Gray s Inn . He wrote The Misfortunes of Arthur , Uther Pendragon s son reduced into tragical notes , which was performed at Greenwich in Queen Elizabeth I of England Elizabeth I s presence on the February 28, 1588. Nicholas Trotte provided the introduction, Francis Flower the choruses of Acts I. and II., William Fulbecke two speeches, while three other gentlemen of Gray s Inn , one of whom was Francis Bacon , undertook the care of the dumb show. The argument of the play, based on a story of incest and crime, was borrowed, in accordance with Seneca the Younger Senecan tradition, from mythical history, and the treatment is in close accordance with the model. The ghost of Gorlois , who was slain by Uther Pendragon , opens the play with a speech that reproduces passages spoken by the ghost of Tantalus in Seneca s play Thyestes In theatre Thyestes the tragic events are announced by a messenger, and the chorus comments on the course of the action. Dr W. J. Cunliffe has proved that Hughes s memory was saturated with Seneca the Younger Seneca , and that the play may be resolved into a patchwork of translations, with occasional original lines. Appendix II. to his exhaustive essay On the Influence of Seneca on Elizabethan Tragedy 1893 gives a long list of parallel passages. The Misfortunes of Arthur was reprinted in John Payne Collier J. P. Collier s supplement to Dodsley s Old Plays and by Harvey Carson Grumline Berlin, 1900 , who points out that Hughes s source was Geoffrey of Monmouth s Historia Britonum , not the Le Morte d Arthur Morte D Arthur .

Robert Wilson flourished 1572 &ndash 1600 , was an Elizabethan dramatist who worked primarily in the 1580s and 1590s. He is also believed to have been an actor who specialized in clown roles. He was connected with sixteen plays intended for Philip Henslowe s The Rose theatre Rose Theatre , in partnership with other playwrights who also produced copy for Henslowe. While mentioned as a dramatist by Francis Meres in 1598, most existing information on his dramatic career is derived from Henslowe s papers. Since the name is common, it is not certain that the Robert Wilson who worked for Henslowe in 1598 1600 is the same man who was a prominent actor and occasional playwright in the 1580s yet many scholars consider it more likely than not that the records refer to one Robert Wilson and not two. If this is correct, Wilson was acting with Leicester s Men in the 1570s, and was praised along with Richard Tarlton for his wit. He is generally accepted as the author of The Three Ladies of London published 1584 , The Three Lords and Three Ladies of London published 1590 , and The Cobbler s Prophecy published 1594 . It has been speculated that he may also have written Fair Em c. 1590 . In Palladis Tamia 1598 , Francis Meres mentions Wilson along with Tarlton, and specifically connects Wilson with the The Swan theatre Swan Theatre , which was built c. 1595. In just over two years, from spring 1598 to summer 1600, Wilson worked with other members of Henslowe s stable of house playwrights on sixteen different plays, including three two part projects. Several of these were never completed. Earl Goodwin and his Three Sons, Parts 1 and 2 , with Michael Drayton , Henry Chettle , and Thomas Dekker poet Thomas Dekker March 1598.
