Second Best Bed (Nash)
by N Richard Nash
Synopsis
Produced in New York at the Barrymore Theatre with Ruth Chatterton and Ralph Forbes.
This play exposes a light-hearted and imaginative episode in the turbulent but affectionate marriage of young Will Shakespeare and Anne Hathaway.
The characteristic roguish wit of Shakespeare is here pitted against a country bumpkin named Poggs.
Alas, poor Poggs, what a silly sight he makes as Shakespeare's foil in this capricious romantic comedy.
The character of a strolling singer provides the opportunity for introducing Elizabethan ballads.
