Dear REEDers: I'm writing on Tudor political drama & I remember once coming across an account of Henry VIII riding, perhaps overnight, perhaps two nights in a row, to see a play of some sort. My even fainter memory associates this event with John Bale, but whether the King was going to see a work by the bilious agitprop maker or if it's simply recounted in a book or essay pertaining to Bale, I don't recall. If anyone knows what I'm talking about, I'd love to get a reference, either to the primary account or a mention in modern scholarship. Thanks, Michael Winkelman, visiting assistant professor of English The University of Texas-Pan American.
