Book Description
"In this drama we see Elizabeth and Essex, a royal favorite and popular general, in love. He is barely thirty and Elizabeth is an aging woman; their love is an extraordinary paradox. Elizabeth delights in Essex the courtier and lover, but is jealous of Essex the military leader and hero. Her constant effort is to keep him quietly at Court under her control. Essex, the last of a proud family, loves the queen but longs for action, glory, and power. He longs to over throw Elizabeth's crafty, cautious statesmanship with his own heroic endeavors. Cecil and Raleigh plot to send Essex to Ireland, juggle him out of favor, and insultingly summon him home. He arrives with an army and the situation is resolved with extraordinary poignancy and power."--Publisher's description

Book Description
[Is silent for a moment.] I cannot say it. You yourself must ask me, Mr Rowan.RICHARD.[With some vehemence.] Then that I expressed in those chapters and letters, and in my character and life as well, something in your soul which you could not-pride or scorn?BEATRICE.Could not?RICHARD.[Leans towards her.] Could not because you dared not. Is that why?BEATRICE.[Bends her head.] Yes.RICHARD.On account of others or for want of courage-which?BEATRICE.[Softly.] Courage.RICHARD.[Slowly.] And so you have followed me with pride and scorn also in your heart?BEATRICE.And loneliness.[She leans her head on her hand, averting her face. RICHARD rises and walks slowly to the window on the left. He looks out for some moments and then returns towards her, crosses to the lounge and sits down near her.]RICHARD.Do you love him still?BEATRICE.I do not even know.RICHARD.It was that that made me so reserved with you-then-even though I felt your interest in me, even though I felt that I too was something in your life.BEATRICE.You were.RICHARD.Yet that separated me from you. I was a third person, I felt. Your names were always spoken together, Robert and Beatrice, as long as I can remember. It seemed to me, to everyone...9BEATRICE.We are first cousins. It is not strange that we were often together.RICHARD.He told me of your secret engagement with him. He had no secrets from me; I suppose you know that.BEATRICE.[Uneasily.] What happened-between us-is so long ago. I was a child.RICHARD.[Smiles maliciously.] A child? Are you sure? It was in the garden of his mother's house. No? [He points towards the garden.] Over there. You plighted your troth, as they say, with a kiss. And you gave him your garter. Is it allowed to mention that?BEATRICE.[With some reserve.] If you think it worthy of mention.RICHARD.I think you have not forgotten it. [Clasping his hands quietly.] I do not understand it. I thought, too, that after I had gone... Did my going make you suffer?BEATRICE.I always knew you would go some day. I did not suffer; only I was changed.

Book Description
The play concerns a travelling troupe of actors who perform their version of the Great Queen, Elizabeth. The travelling actors are harrassed out of their theaters and stages by Puritans and Cambridge Dons. During one such performance in an English farm town, the real Queen Elizabeth appears in person and is mightily distressed at the player-queen's performance of the decapitation of her rival, Mary, Queen of the Scots. The play's theme is Elizabeth herself, as an enigmatic folk-hero, trying desperately to pursue her policy of peace in a world of men hell-bent on war.
