Greene’s stage character more closely resembles the fanciful magician forged by popular legends in the wake of the historical Bacon’s life, especially as portrayed in the anonymously authored prose work <title level="m">The Famous Historie of Fryer Bacon</title> (see the notes at <ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_165" type="localCit"/>, <ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_571" type="localCit"/>, <ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_1457" type="localCit"/>, and the <ref target="emdFBFB_Supp.xml">Supplementary Materials</ref> included in this edition).</p>

                     <p>Adapted directly from the contemporary prose work <title level="m">The Famous Historie of Fryer Bacon</title>, the character perhaps appealed to Greene personally, given the author’s sometimes cynical attitude towards the impoverishment of Elizabethan scholars. The word <term>miles</term> means <gloss>servant</gloss> in Irish, which offers a potential clue about the dialect in which the part was originally performed. Miles’s name also means <gloss>soldier</gloss> in Latin, and his comic bravado links him genetically to the theatrical archetype of the <foreign xml:lang="la">miles gloriosus</foreign>, or braggart soldier.</p>

                     <p>Greene appears to have in mind Frederick II (1211–1250), emperor of Germany and Italy and brother-in-law of King Henry III by his marriage to Henry’s sister, Isabella, in 1235. Frederick died, however, and his Hohenstaufen dynasty’s imperial claim had ended before the play’s major historical events took place—such as Edward and Eleanor’s marriage negotiations in <ptr type="localCit" target="#emdFBFB_M_s4"/> and <ptr type="localCit" target="#emdFBFB_M_s11"/>. Greene, working primarily within the genre of romance and not chronicle history, was not much troubled by the inaccuracy.</p>

                     <p>It has been noted that Burden, Mason, and Clement are names of actual scholars who attended Oxford at different times between the medieval period and the sixteenth century (<ref type="bibl" target="#ARDO1">Ardolino</ref>). However, the three doctors’ names are perhaps better understood as having allegorical significance of the sort common to early Tudor drama. The clearest case is Burden, whose name is insistently spoken on stage as his sinful extracurricular activities are exposed in Scene 2. According to Q1, the names Mason and Clement are never spoken on stage, but they nevertheless also carry hints of conceptual design, gesturing respectively towards a stone-cutter and a state of tolerant mildness. Taken together, they may stand for three related stages of spiritual being, each very familiar to Greene’s Protestant audience: the first can be characterized as the painful recognition of innate human sinfulness, a <quote>burden</quote> thought to be a consequence of humanity’s fall from divine grace; the second evokes (indirectly) the flinty heart of the sinner that may only be broken and made contrite by a divine stone-worker; the third then points to the redemptive clemency that the Protestant faithful believed to be mysteriously granted by a merciful God (c.f. Ezekiel 36:26; Psalm 51).</p>

               </figure>The first scene of the show launched the audience into the ribald, rambunctious and definitively masculine world of the production as a whole. Under the leadership of master actor <persName ref="#HOPK2">Paul Hopkins</persName> (Prince Edward), the company animated this scene with the locker-room atmosphere that came to characterize the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p23">rehearsal process of the all-male cast</ref>. They found a lot of opportunities for physical clown comedy that helped clarify the sexual double meanings behind much of the poetry. They gave free reign to the expression of their characters’ sexual desires. The result of their performance choices was that life in the English countryside was highly eroticized. Even the churning of milk becomes an erotic act. Although we did not decide this intention in advance, the effect accords well with the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p28">assumed objective of the Queen’s Men</ref> because it makes England seem so desirable. Given the repeated references to sexual violence in the scene, however, it is not an England that is desirable today; indeed looking back at it now the scene’s <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p4">objectification of women makes me quite uncomfortable</ref>. In a full modern production of the play that was not interested in original practices, I might find ways to make the <quote>wags</quote> (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2040" type="localCit"/>) seem more distasteful in their desires and in their attitudes towards women at this early stage. The play later challenges their attitude towards women through Lacy’s resistance to the prince, although Lacy himself then later plays fast and loose with Margaret’s emotions. In our production, <persName ref="#DEZO1">Julian DeZotti</persName>’s performance of Margaret also offered resistance to the objectifying attitudes of the <quote>wags</quote>.</note>

However, a contemporary song claims he tempered his viciousness with virtue, combining the pride and ferocity of a lion with the changeability of a leopard: <quote><foreign xml:lang="la">Leo per superbiam, per fercitatem; / Est per inconstantiam et varietatum / Pardus</foreign></quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#WRIG6">Wright 93</ref>). Lauded in maturity as an eloquent and pious ruler, he retained his bellicose edge, ruthlessly dispossessing and banishing Jews from England in 1290 and leading punishing military campaigns against France, Wales, and Scotland. The epithet <foreign xml:lang="la">Scottorum malleus</foreign> (<soCalled>hammer of the Scots</soCalled>) inscribed on his Westminster tomb speaks to the intensity with which he prosecuted his northern wars in particular. Greene’s characterization glances at this mercurial and often violent reputation—our first impression of the character is that of a joyous venison hunter suddenly transformed into a <quote>melancholy dump</quote> and <quote>like to a troubled sky</quote> ready to storm (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2042" type="localCit"/>).</note>

                  The SQM interpretation of the Prince was not informed by the historical sources. The actor’s interpretation was built primarily on the similarities between this character and the other mischievous princes he played in the repertoire (<ref target="emdFBFB_PerfIntro.xml#emdFBFB_PerfIntro_p3">Performance Intro</ref>). The aggression implied by the ongoing comparison of hunting deer and hunting women remained textual, while the performance of the scene was playful and superficially harmless. It could certainly have been played to bring focus on the more unpleasant side of these characters.</note>

Prior to their entrance the company sang the sorrowful madrigal <quote>I go before my darling</quote> and then burst into wild joyful applause and laughter. <persName ref="#HOPK2">Hopkins</persName> (Prince Edward) then entered slowly and crossed to front stage right where he sighed and put the back of his hand up to his head. His companions followed him, still laughing but gradually let their Prince’s somber mood change their own. The fact that the Prince’s melancholy is spoiling their aristocratic fun is the spur to the action of the scene and this staging, developed independently by the company under <persName ref="#HOPK2">Hopkins</persName>’ leadership as <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p20">master actor</ref>, made the central conflict of the scene clear from its first moment.</note>

               <term>Stammel</term> may refer to a course woolen cloth often dyed red, or to the reddish shade of the dye itself (<ref type="bibl" target="#OEDT2"><title level="m">OED</title> <term>stammel</term>, n.1 1–2</ref>).

As with our other clowns in <title level="m">King Leir</title> and <title level="m">Famous Victories</title> Rafe was given a wooden dagger. Reviewing the video, I noticed that he is not using the same kind of wooden dagger as <persName ref="#NASH7">Alon Nashman</persName>, the company clown, does in the other plays and as Miles does in this one. Rafe’s dagger is painted silver to resemble an actual dagger. If I had noticed this in production, I would have insisted on a consistent use of obviously wooden daggers. I think it speaks better to the childishness of these characters and their harmlessness.</note>

In the political and artistic discourse of the 1580s and 1590s, Queen Elizabeth I was often referred to in similar coded terms, as, for instance, in the epithet <term>Cynthia</term> (a name derived from Diana’s birthplace, the Cynthian Hill); c.f.

The policy generally was to avoid reading irony or complex motivation into the roles and play what the actor is given in the text. However, the final performance recorded on video was performed to an audience largely made up of academics familiar with the play, and this line played ironically regardless of the actor’s intentions. It could certainly be played this way intentionally to develop Lacy’s distance from the Prince’s dishonorable motives in order to create a critical perspective on the gender politics of the scene (see note at <ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_1922" type="localCit"/>).</note>

               </figure>The character of Friar Bacon was a great challenge for <persName ref="#GRAY1">Jason Gray</persName> in the SQM production.

In his first scene, he plays the straight man to Miles’ clowning even though the later action of the scene casts him as a comic trickster who dupes his rival Burden. The company’s use of a supernumerary devil to effect magical appearances and disappearances first appears in this scene. This playful staging of Bacon’s power  offered a combination of the impressive and the comical that came to define the company’s <ref target="emdFBFB_PerfIntro.xml#emdFBFB_PerfIntro_p2">performance of the play’s magic</ref>. The scene follows a pattern used in the <title level="m">Famous Victories</title> in which the English hero turns the tables on a proud adversary (Henry in <ref target="emdFV_M.xml#emdFV_M_s16">Scene 16</ref>, and Derrick in <ref target="emdFV_M.xml#emdFV_M_s18">Scene 18</ref>). Bacon comically exposes the Doctor Burden who has dared to question the extent of the friar’s power. The pattern was familiar to the SQM company by this time in the rehearsal process and they knew to exaggerate the challenger’s pride prior to the fall to enhance the comic effect. The pattern is used again in the Vandermast scene (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_1017" type="localCit"/>).</note>

Greene may also have in mind the Lord’s promise to fortify the spirit of the prophet Jeremiah: <quote>For, behold, I have made thee this day a defensed city, and an iron pillar, and walls of brass against the whole land</quote> (Jeremiah 1:18). The aspiration to raise impenetrable walls thus reflects a proud desire to assume god-like power. At the same time, the notion of fortifying England by magic must have fascinated Elizabethans in the tense atmosphere surrounding the Spanish Armada and the threat of Catholic invasion.</note>

            <note type="commentary">Bacon’s reference to Hecate develops one of the play’s central patterns of allusion. A goddess of great antiquity, Hecate is usually represented as a woman with three joined bodies (the triple Hecate, or triple Diana) standing as though at a crossroads, incorporating aspects of Selene (or her Roman equivalent Luna), Artemis (or Diana), Pallas (or Minerva), and the Erinyes (also known as the Furies). In this way, Hecate interweaves traditions of veneration for the moon, female power, wisdom, fertility, virginity, and the punishment of rapists or unfaithful men. By the sixteenth century, a more frightful variation of Hecate was evolving, more closely associated with necromancy, witchcraft, and lunacy (dramatized most famously in <title level="m">Macbeth</title>). It is this more sinister version that Bacon appears to have in mind.</note>

               </figure>The third scene returns us to the <soCalled>frolic</soCalled> world of the English countryside (to borrow Greene’s favorite term) and introduces us to the brightest flower the national garden: Margaret, the Fair Maid of Fressingfield. Working with the dance instructor <persName ref="#WINE1">Emily Winerock</persName> the company created a dance to open the scene intended to generate some of the fun and excitement of a country fair. Margaret has already been praised for her beauty in the opening scene and here we discover that her command of language is also remarkable as she scatters classical allusions through her speech. Margaret was the last of the female roles developed by <persName ref="#DEZO1">Julian DeZotti</persName> and <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p22">worked to redefine the other two</ref>. <persName ref="#DEZO1">DeZotti</persName> gives Margaret a generous, fun-loving quality from the outset of this scene and reveals her to be a woman with her own desires and convictions. The scene establishes that Margaret is a cut above the other country folk and the supporting actors in the scene made their country folk as ridiculous as possible to emphasize the difference between the disguised Lacy and the real farmers at the fair.</note>

            <note type="gloss">Henry III, king of England (1207–1272) and Prince Edward’s father.</note>
            <note type="commentary">Henry III is remembered for his piety, which led him to collect religious relics and build a magnificent tomb in honor of Edward the Confessor at Westminster Abbey. He sought to harmonize his court and assert royal authority in Ireland, Wales, and Scotland, but economic and political instability troubled his reign: taxes alienated his subjects, compelling Henry to cede power to a strengthened parliament; he was forced to resign English claims to Normandy, Anjou, and Poitou, ending the Angevin empire; and factionalism at his court culminated in armed baronial warfare. Greene had access to this history in Holinshed, yet shows little interest in representing it with veracity, obscuring especially the era’s internecine violence. Of greater interest to Greene is Henry’s reputation as a patron of the arts and admirer of luxury: not surprisingly the character more closely resembles an idealized Tudor monarch than a Plantagenet one. Henry’s primary function in the play is to project an image of English sovereignty (<quote>Albion is another little world</quote>
               <ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_396" type="localCit"/>) and magnificence in an international context (<quote>Thus glories England over all the west</quote>

Greene appears to have in mind Frederick II (1211–1250), the emperor of Germany and Italy who became King Henry III’s brother-in-law when he married Henry’s sister Isabella in 1235. However, the events in this scene took place in 1254 by which time both Frederick and his imperial claim on the Hohenstaufen dynasty had expired. There followed an interregnum (1250–1308) during which no Holy Roman Emperor was universally recognized. Again, because Greene is working primarily within the genre of romance and not chronicle history, biographical accuracy is not his priority.</note>

               </figure>This fabulous scene the fluid economy of the bare Elizabethan stage and the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p18">range and complexity of Queen’s Men’s dramaturgy and commitment to variety</ref>, containing ribald comedy, touching vows of love, a prince’s anger, and a maiden’s fear, but central to the scene is the Friar’s magic which is achieved through the simple magic of theatre and specifically of the Elizabethan stage. Each time the bare Elizabethan stage is cleared, the playwrights and actors rely on the fact that the audience will follow their linguistic and mimetic cues and re-imagine a new time and place for the subsequent action to occur. In this scene, swords are fixed in scabbards because of the mimetic power of the actors, the audience to imagine weapons frozen in place. The prince sits in the Friar’s study and Lacy woos Margaret miles away in Fressingfield because the audience is perfectly capable of imagining the stage to be simultaneously two places at once. The real prospective glass is theater itself which allows us to re-frame and re-imagine the world in which we live. The scene begins with social inversion as the fool plays the prince in the tradition of misrule and ultimately works to challenge the limits of a prince’s power as Lacy chooses to protect Margaret’s virtue rather than obey his future ruler and friend. The riotous surface of the action covers a politically subversive undercurrent.</note>

We failed, however, to give Warren and Ermbsy any disguise at all, which was an oversight on our part. Initially Rafe entered alone and the other characters followed in order to make sense of his first line. The prince entered second performing a moronic impression of Rafe for which he received a kick on the backside from the fool, an action unlikely to have been conceived by the original Elizabethan company who would have a greater sensitivity to social standing. However, it continued the combative relationship the two SQM characters developed for the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p3">prince and the fool</ref>.</note>

Our staging solution was simple: Friar Bacon made a gesture with his hand and a set of chimes were rung off-stage. The real pleasure of the magic, however, came from the performance of its victims and the comic business that arose from their efforts to get their swords out of their scabbards. Over the next lines the actors struggled to remove their swords, with Rafe kneeling down to help at one point, which <soCalled>unintentionally</soCalled> resulted in physical business resembling an act of fellatio. The SQM company were allowed <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p11">free reign to develop comic business</ref> on the basis that the original Queen’s Men were largely made up of actors skilled in comedy.

But since the players often toured and were versatile at adapting to different venues, they may also have represented Bacon’s study by having the actors simply stand apart from the concurrent action in whatever space an inn-yard or municipal hall might afford.</note>

A crystal ball such as Spenser ascribes to Merlin in <title level="m">The Faerie Queene</title>? <quote>It vertue had to shew in perfect sight / Whatever thing was in the world contaynd, / Betwixt the lowest earth and heavens hight, / So that it to the looker appertained; / Whatever foe had wrought, or friend had faynd, / Therein discovered was, naught mote pass, / Naught in secret from the same remaynd; / Forthy it round and hollow shaped was / Like to the world itself and seemed a world of glass</quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#SPEN6">Spenser 416</ref>). The scholars and actors involved in the <title level="m">Shakespeare and the Queen’s Men</title> symposium in 2006 followed editorial tradition by imagining a magical mirror resembling a contemporary dressing-table vanity. Alternatively, Greene may have had in mind a supernatural artifact akin to the obsidian scrying stone once owned by the <ref target="https://www.bl.uk/collection-items/john-dees-spirit-mirror">Elizabethan magus John Dee</ref>. Made of volcanic glass polished to mirror smoothness, these <term>shew-stones</term> were believed to have the power to conduct spirits and provide secret glimpses into the past, present, and future. Dee’s stone was famous in its day and even captured the imagination of Queen Elizabeth during a visit to Dee’s home in 1575 (see the <ref target="emdFBFB_Supp.xml">Supplementary Materials</ref>). Yet another possibility is that Greene and the Queen’s Men modeled their stage property on the nascent technology of the reflecting telescope. In <title level="m">The Famous History of Friar Bacon</title>, Bacon professes expertise in the art of <foreign xml:lang="la">perspectiva</foreign>, or optics, declaring that <quote>perspects may be so framed that things far off shall seem most nigh unto us</quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#ANON2"><title level="m">The Famous History of Friar Bacon</title> C4r</ref>). <quote>Glass prospective</quote> and <quote>perspective glass</quote> would eventually become standard terms for English, Dutch, and Italian telescopes in the early seventeenth century (<ref type="bibl" target="#OEDT2"><title level="m">OED</title> <term>perspective glass</term>, n.</ref>). However, as early as the 1570s English polymaths such as Dee and his pupil Thomas Digges were discussing the way convex lenses and concave mirrors might be used to magnify objects great distances away, espousing the use of <term>glasses</term> as a means of terrestrial and astronomical observation three decades before Galileo would turn his more refined telescope toward Jupiter’s moons in 1609 (see the <ref target="emdFBFB_Supp.xml">Supplementary Materials</ref>). When Bacon directs Edward to <quote>Sit still, and keep the crystal in your eye</quote> (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2104" type="localCit"/>) we may imagine the actor peering into either an arcane occult artifact or, perhaps, a state-of-the-art technological apparatus (the crystal being the magnifying lens at one end).</note>

            <note type="commentary">The question of where onstage Edward is to stand and peer into Bacon’s glass has divided editors. Collier situates him upstage with all action viewed through the glass taking place immediately before the audience. Dyce proposes the opposite, envisioning the glass downstage closer to the audience, with the action spied through it being unveiled by a drawn curtain near the tiring house wall.</note>

Lacy and Maragaret appeared behind him and crossed to upstage right to play out their scene. In the tavern setting we followed Collier’s suggestion, situating Edward upstage and having him view the action through Bacon’s glass. I enjoyed the way the angle of the prince’s sightline crossed in front of the lovers while it remained clear he was not actually looking at them. The arrangement also allowed the audience to process the action in Fressingfield and the prince’s reactions simultaneously.</note>

               </figure>The scene opens with the three Oxford doctors reminding the audience of the king’s intention to come to Oxford and his wager that Bacon will best the German Vandermast. McMillin and MacLean called the dramaturgical inclination towards such reminders <quote>narrative over-deterimination</quote> which carries an implied criticism of this technique (<ref type="bibl" target="#MCMI1">McMillin and MacLean 133–138</ref>). In plays so packed full of variety and unfolding so many plots, however, the strategy is of great value as otherwise the audience may lose the thread of the action. Furthermore, the scene is an excellent example of the Queen’s Men commitment to variety over unity. It is tenuously connected to the plot of the play through the doctor’s concern about the arrival of the king but ultimately it fails the modern normative test for unity of action because, if removed, the story would still be told. But plot was not paramount in Queen’s Men entertainment and removing the scene would make the play less rich and less fun. By committing to the text of the scene and unearthing the comic action it implied, the SQM company developed comic business that brought the misbehavior of the prince’s wags to theatrical life and engaged our audience with the idea of order and misrule laying the thematic groundwork for the prince’s conversion in the next scene. The SQM principal clown (<persName ref="#NASH7">Alon Nashman</persName>) and <persName ref="#KRIS1">Matthew Krist</persName> (Rafe) had developed an improvisatory spirit through the rehearsals which bore fruit in this scene, as the actors found new comic business in every live performance.</note>

               </figure>The SQM actors characterized the doctors as comical old men shuffling around the stage, with their long grey beards. This characterization is a good example of how all the characters in the SQM productions became clowns to different degrees. In this scene, the doctors are the straight guy smen to the open clowning of Miles and Rafe but they are still conceived as playful representations of Oxford doctors rather than psychologically individuated characters (<ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p22">Shakespeare and the Queen’s Men (SQM) Productions</ref>).</note>

In the period dramatized, Albert I of the house of Ascania (c. 1175–1260) governed the duchy of Saxony. However, for Greene and his audience the Saxon dukes of the later sixteenth-century perhaps came more readily to the mind. Johann Friedrich I (1503–1554) had championed Luther’s Reformation and in seeking to reestablish his family’s claim to the electorship of Saxony he fiercely opposed the Holy Roman Emperor, for which he was long imprisoned. His sons Johann Freidrich II (1529–1595), Johann Wilhelm (1530–1573), and Johann Friedrich III (1538–1565), and his grandson Friedrich Wilhem, the duke of Saxe-Weimar (1562–1602) were all prominent Protestants, with Johan Friedrich II at one time considered a potential suitor to Elizabeth I.</note>

               <persName ref="#KRIS1">Matthew Krist</persName> (Rafe) reacted in comic shock to this question as if outraged that his princely identity was being questioned. The humour of the lord of misrule motif works best when the actor commits emotionally to his assumed identity while maintaining an external characterization that undermines it at the same time. The comic inversion works to raise questions about the definition of nobility that are picked up in the next scene with Lacy and the prince.</note>

               </figure>At this point in the performance a feather that had fallen off a hat blew across the stage and caught Rafe’s attention. One of the <ref target="emdFBFB_PerfIntro.xml#emdFBFB_PerfIntro_p11">principles of clowning</ref> learnt through the <title level="m">Experiment in Elizabethan Comedy</title> is that clowns cannot ignore what they see, and shoud impulsively respond to accidents of the stage. In true clown fashion then, Rafe stared at the feather rather than ignoring it (which would have been the more likely response of a modern method actor). He picked it up in cupped hands and passed it to Alon who reacted as if he had been given a butterfly and flew it off the stage into the tiring house. This moment was entirely improvised, and it is a great example of how clowning increases the feeling of liveness in performance.</note>

Taken in isolation the opening sequence of this scene might appear to belong in a tragedy. The pattern of the scene was familiar to <persName ref="#HOPK2">Hopkins</persName> from the two conversion scenes in <title level="m">Famous Victories</title> (<ref target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_746">Scene 6</ref> and <ref target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_1017">Scene 8</ref>), and the central conversion scene of <title level="m">King Leir</title> (<ref target="emdLeir_M.xml#emdLeir_M_s19">Scene 19</ref>). In fact, the company replicated the blocking of the Leir scene with <persName ref="#HOPK2">Hopkins</persName> standing between Lacy and Margaret in the same way the Murderer stood between Leir and Perillus just prior to relenting. The SQM company found the plays worked best when they committed fully to the specific demands of each scene rather than worrying about how all the scenes worked together. Here each actor plays out the potentially fatal stakes of the action deeply investing themselves in the passionate rhetoric Greene gives to their characters in this scene. While the similarities with other scenes in the repertoire helped the actors quickly understand the basic pattern of the scene, playing out the specifics of the dialogue revealed important differences. The Murderer’s conversion in <title level="m">King Leir</title> is religious, caused in part by the thundering heavens, Edward’s conversion is depicted as the victory of reason over passion (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2036" type="localCit"/>) and therefore has a more humanist tone.</note>

The cross-referencing was not deliberate but arose from the similarities in the scenes, the fact the same actor was playing both roles, and the speed with which the company as working which inclined them to re-use patterns that worked in previous performances. It encourages us to imagine how the conception and performance of Elizabethan plays might have been affected by the working practices of the repertory companies that performed them.</note>

            <note type="commentary">The play takes an important turn as the melancholy Edward composes himself to become the powerful historical figure of popular Elizabethan imagination. Of the mature prince, Stow writes: <quote>Of stature he was tall, and mighty of body, nothing gross; his eyes somewhat black and in time of anger fierce, of such noble and valiant courage that he never fainted in the most dangerous enterprises; of excellent wit and great towardness</quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#STOW3">Stow 296</ref>). Stoic self-composure interested Greene, possibly because he was not predisposed to it himself, as suggested by anecdotes of his reckless living. A similar instance of magnanimity occurs in <title level="m">Greenes Orpharion</title> when the martial Acestes also subdues his <soCalled>fancy’s passion</soCalled>: <quote>Is it Acestes’ love that troubles thee? Why, thou art a soldier, sworn to arms, not to armour; to encounter foes in the field, not to court ladies in the chamber: Hercules had almost performed his twelve labours, ere he durst find leisure to love, and thou art scarce acquainted with Mars, but thou seekest to be private friend to Venus: away, fond fool</quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#GREE20">Greene C2v</ref>).</note>

The SQM actors’ <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p11">adoption of clowning</ref> created characters that were comical and yet could still offer the debate a sense of intellectual gravity. <persName ref="#GRAY1">David Kynaston</persName> (Vandermast) for example adopted a German accent and used it for comic effect but also gave his character a proud grandeur that made him a worthy opponent of the English friars. The debate between Vandermast and Bungay is one of the most impressive rhetorical achievements in the SQM repertory productions. The stage directions for the magic in this scene call for some spectacle and received relatively high-tech treatment with the use of elaborate props and flash-paper for pyrotechnics. Our hope was to create a sense of power and wonder but with our limited budget and tight fire regulations, it remained <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p3">more funny than awe-inspiring</ref>. The tone of the magic, however, is secondary to the fact that a foreign power is brought to heel by a great Englishman—a familiar theme in the repertoire of the SQM company and the Queen’s Men. The magic in the performance served the political agenda of the Queen’s Men by representing the victory of jolly old England over a stuffy, foreign power.</note>

               </figure>When first approaching this scene, the SQM actors wanted to mock this debate and present it as entirely parodic, but they worked hard to find some other form of value in this extended dispute. <persName ref="#KRIS1">Matthew Krist</persName> (Bungay) and <persName ref="#GRAY1">David Kynaston</persName> (Vandermast) eventually mastered the logic of each argument, even if many of the references to necromantic theory were obscure to them.

Their characterizations are comical but not entirely ridiculous which shows how the SQM company clowning could give the productions substance.</note>

               </figure>In the extended rehearsals of a modern production process a moment like this might provoke much debate. Given the past behavior of the prince, are his words here sincere? Is he simply playing politics? Or do his words express and new-found passion? In the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p5">accelerated time-frame of the SQM process</ref>, there was little time for such discussion. Our policy was generally to play the lines sincerely unless your <soCalled>part</soCalled> tells you your character is lying.

               </figure>Following the happy union of the two royal lovers, the king’s speech here and the action that precedes it created a feeling of a false ending in performance. The only thing lacking is the presence of Margaret to join in marriage to Lacy. This feeling, however, arises from enculturation in the singular, linear narratives of our times. Greene and the Queen’s Men were operating in a different theatrical tradition, one that had much more to make of the frolic world of the old England they had created. The extension of <ref target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_1017">Scene 8</ref> that follows is a strange coda that comically engages the audience with life at an English university, depicting the poverty of many an English students but then replacing it with the extravagant hospitality they could afford to visiting dignitaries. It is typical of the <ref target="emdFBFB_PerfIntro.xml#emdFBFB_PerfIntro_p5">dual politics of criticism and praise</ref> that came across in the SQM production of Green’s play. Variety of action is the <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p18">ruling principle of the Queen’s Men dramaturgy</ref>; unity in Greene’s play comes from ideas connecting across the various incidents rather than through a neo-classical, causal development of the plot.</note>

               <persName ref="#NASH7">Alon Nashman</persName> (Miles) struggled to make sense of the final sequence of this scene. In keeping with his 21st century training he was keen to find a way that it contributed to the development of the action. It is true that it creates some insight into the life in Oxford, revealing the frugal fare eaten by committed scholars while simultaneously arguing that Oxford is capable of generously hosting royalty but this can only be a side issue to the play at best. For me, this sign of the Queen’s Men’s love of variety of spectacle is a preference only strange to us because we are so used to valuing unity. It is a comic turn, a trick of Bacon’s, intended to amuse the audience as much as to instruct his royal guests. Once again, our strategy was to ask the company to play the scene as it was written and let the whole take care of itself. In Queen’s Men dramaturgy, <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p18">local effect trumps unity of action</ref>.</note>

Although tied to the plot of the first half of the play through the character of Margaret, it felt like the beginning of a new story in performance. For the SQM company, it was hard to place these country squires in the social hierarchy as they seem wealthy but their dialogue reveals they are not court sophisticates. I was unable to find a way to distinguish them from Lacy, Warren and Ermsby, either through costume or manner. I feel there was a joke around social class lost here focus the country style of wooing as Serlsby uses descriptions of his flock as a means to seduce Margaret (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2474" type="localCit"/>). <persName ref="#DEZO1">Julian DeZotti</persName> (Margaret) displays the richness of his characterization in this scene moving from polite and modest tactics of delay, through to heartbreak on reading the letter, to steadfast defense of the strength of her own love in contrast to Lacy’s, and commitment to a future life in the local convent. The strength and dignity he brings to Margaret is a signal that <ref target="qme_SQMPerfInt.xml#qme_SQMPerfInt_p4">all-male companies did not necessarily result in conservative views of women</ref> although ultimately the SQM production did not challenge such views as rigorously as a regular modern production might do today.</note>

            <note type="label">The scrolls … me</note>
            <note type="commentary">A challenging and ironic passage: Margaret’s statement refers to the myth of Princess Danae of Argos. The Oracle of Delphi told Danae’s father, King Acrisius, that his daughter’s future son would destroy him. Seeking to escape this fate, he had Danae imprisoned in a brazen cell. But Zeus came to desire Danae and after visiting her sexually in the form of golden rain, the child of their union, Perseus, fulfilled the Oracle’s prophecy by overthrowing Acrisius. Greene’s <quote>scrolls that Jove sent Danae</quote> (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2430" type="localCit"/>) does not reflect a misunderstanding of the myth of the shower of gold but rather a nuanced comprehension of the way oracular wisdom was transmitted in sealed epistles. Thus, in Greene’s prose romance <title level="m">Pandosto</title> (1588), a priest of Apollo instructs questioners to take up <quote>a scroll of parchment</quote> from behind an altar upon which a divine revelation is written <quote>in letters of gold</quote> (<ref type="bibl" target="#GREE8">Greene C2r</ref>). Margaret’s reference to <quote>the scrolls</quote> is therefore a metonym for the larger oracular prophecy which foresaw Danae’s liberation from a condition of imprisonment, and the phrase that follows, <quote>Wrapped in rich closures of fine burnished gold</quote> (<ptr target="#emdFBFB_M_anc_2472" type="localCit"/>), refers to the golden letters that contain this divine foreknowledge. Greene’s dramatic irony lies in the way Margaret excitedly imagines the letter carrier to be a priest of Apollo bringing her a prophecy of freedom and sexual union with a deity (i.e. Lacy); in fact, the information imparted by the scroll/letter will be heart-breaking, and the divine shower of gold merely a bag of money, crudely intended to test her affection.</note>

The gender politics of this scene highly problematic today but in keeping with the SQM approach the actors were asked to play the scene without resorting to parody. <persName ref="#DEZO1">Julian DeZotti</persName> (Margaret) was <ref target="emdFBFB_PerfIntro.xml#emdFBFB_PerfIntro_p4">praised in an early review</ref> for committing to her character’s submission without irony but creatively adapted his performance under the pressure of the modern audience’s ironic laughter. He developed a knowing relationship with them, and especially the women in the audience, that put his character’s actions in a kind of performative quotation marks. He played out the scene as written but his relationship with the audience set up a critical perspective on the action that was likely not present in the original Queen’s Men performance. It is possible to imagine an early modern audience of conservative patriarchs enjoying this scene as a comical confirmation of the weakness of women, but our modern audience and <persName ref="#DEZO1">DeZotti</persName> created an interpretation a little more suited to our times. It is also possible to imagine a more heterogenous early modern audience that contains women and an original performance that exhibits some of the political interplay around gender norms that emerged in the SQM production.</note>

He stepped away from Lacy, leant up against the tiring house frame, and bit his tongue as if suppressing the anger any modern woman would rightly feel in such a circumstance. It was almost as if the actor stepped out of character for a moment to share a modern reaction with the audience. From this moment on, I felt we began to see the scene through his eyes.</note>

He played the line as if his character was truly giving into her love for Lacy but also with an ironic awareness of what such an acceptance means within the cultural context of our own times. This double-edged delivery allowed the audience to enjoy the play’s happy conclusion partly because they felt the actors were winking at the archaic gender politics. Although we attempted to perform the politics of the plays without parody or irony, the interaction between modern actor and modern audience found a way to create a shadow of irony over the remainder of this scene. He went on to take off his charater’s nun’s wimple and flipped his hair melodramatically increasing the theatrically self-aware affect of his character’s sudden rejection of the convent in favour of her love for Lord Lacy.</note>

In the Queen’s Men version, however, it is the secular clown Miles that rides off to hell. The scene is basically a double act and the basic shtick was that Miles treats the devil as if he were a human acquaintance and their conversation a job interview. When he rides off to hell Miles is the master of the devil rather than its victim, putting on his spurs to ride him off to hell. The scene ties up Miles’ storyline as bearing the blame for Bacon’s failed brazen-head experiment, but its particular expression feels likeadds another good example of the Queen’s Men’s commitment to variety of action over unity.</note>

The Queen’s Men’s most celebrated comic performer, Richard Tarlton, was especially adept at witty interaction and improvised banter. If Greene wrote the play prior to Tarlton’s death in September 1588, he may have conceived the role of Miles with the actor in mind (for a discussion of the play’s date, see the <ref target="emdFBFB_TextIntro.xml">Textual Introduction</ref>).</note>
