Greg II acknowledged the possibility of Martin Slater's authorship of "Alexander and Lodowick," but is not convinced. Curious whether a lawsuit between Slater and three players who had left Pembroke's men in 1597 to join the Admiral's men (William Bird, Thomas Downton, and Gabriel Spencer) might have been about the plays Slater had sold to the Admiral's men in May 1598, Greg said he would "like to have the breviate" of the case for evidence on Slater's possible authorship (pp. 310-11).


Gurr attributes the play to Martin Slater (p. 94)
