Category:Thomas Parsons
Thomas Parsons, a "boy" of Thomas Downton in Philip Henslowe's accounts, had the part of a Fury in the Admiral's revival of The Battle of Alcazar in 1602; in this same time frame, he played "an attendant, a Persian, a guard, a messenger, a nurse, and an Hermaphrodite in the processof of "1 Tamar Cham" (Ningezer, p. 266). According to Kathman, this connection with Downtown may or may not guarantee that Parsons was "probably not bound in a livery company" too, at least not through Downton (p. 24).
