The Queen's Head
The Queen's Head | Edward Marston
1 post | 3 read | 2 to read
He was egotistical, verbose and hot-headed to a fault. But he did not deserve to die... His name was Will Fowler, an actor in the esteemed theatrical company called Lord Westfield's Men, a vibrant young man flushed from the success of a recent performance at The Queen's Head theatre. So exuberant was he that he persuaded the resourceful manager of the company, Nicholas Bracewell, to quaff a pint or two at a nearby pub. Alas, it was to be Will's last taste of beer. A tavern brawl left him dead - but not before he gasped for Nicholas to find his fast-fleeting, red-bearded murderer and administer a just revenge. Yet finding Will's murderer in London's dark, crowded streets was a seemingly impossible task - not to mention the fact that Lord Westfield's Men were just commanded to appear at the court of Elizabeth I - an honour one dare not refuse . . .

Set during the reign of Elizabeth I in the 1580's the main body of the work centered around Actors performing and rehearsing plays. Described as an Elizabethan mystery, there wasn't much mystery. The story loosely followed the attempt to find a murderer of one of the actors. Queen Elizabeth did make an appearance in the final throws of what throughout was a rather slow story. Thankfully there was plenty of audience applause at the exciting finale
