Critical Commentary

Probably following Collier (22), Harbage suggests this play might the same as "Ptolemy", performed at the Bull Inn in the late 1570s.

Wiggins points out that Harbage's identification is quite problematic, especially because by 1583 the play would have been too old to be staged before the Queen (serial number 736).

MacLean remarks that the performance of the play in February 1583 must have been one of the last of the members of the company who had obtained the royal patent in 1574 before joining the newly-formed Queen's Men in March (261-262).
