Abstract

The alternate 1604 edition of Marston's 'The Malcontent' -- advertised '[w]ith the additions played by the Kings majesties servants' -- features an induction with named members of the newly minted King's Men as characters. When the house tiring-man attempts to kick William Slye off the stage, Slye complains that they are allowed to do so 'at the private house.'
