Theatrical Provenance

The single appearance of "Time's Triumph" in Henslowe's records for the Admiral's men at the Rose in April 1957 is the only recorded evidence of the play's existence and theatrical provenance.

Critical Commentary


Greg II read Henslowe's "& fortus" to be "and fortune," and a more compelling suggestion has yet to be offered (#104).

Over time, the play title acquired an apostrophe "s:" Harbage, p. 52; Gurr, p. 228. Wiggins, Catalogue considers the possibility that "Fortune's" was meant to modify some word (now missing) other than "Triumph" ( #1022).
