Michael Murgetrode (1581-1582)
Historical Records

Theatrical Provenance
Produced at Jesus College, Cambridge, 1581-2. Written in Latin.
Probable Genre(s)
Latin Comedy (Harbage)
Possible Narrative and Dramatic Sources or Analogues
The title, Puer Vapulans, means "the beaten boy", but this provides little clue to the content. As Martin Wiggins notes, there must have been a boy actor available at Cambridge to "to take the unenviable title role" (528).
