note: Following the entry of 8 July 1596 for a performance of the second part of Tamburlaine, Philip Henslowe's list of dates and plays was reset to 4 July 1594. Consequently, the third performance of "Troy" has the same day-date as does a performance of "The Wise Man of West Chester," and the accuracy of the 16 July date for the fourth performance is questionable.

Theatrical Provenance

"Troy" apparently belonged to the Admiral's men, who in July of 1596 were performing at the Rose playhouse.

Probable Genre(s)
