Theatrical Provenance

In addition to performing at court, 1576-7, Howard's men toured the provinces in the late 1570s as well, perhaps with "Tooly" still in production.


Probable Genre(s)

Harbage does not hazard a guess as to the narrative of "Tooly." Wiggins, Catalogue #601 considers the possibility that "Tooly" might have been a spelling of "Tully," in which case perhaps Cicero is the primary character of the play; he considers also the possibility of a Norse king, Olaf II.
