362: Richard III or, The English Prophet by Samuel Rowley (Fragment)

It's an interesting double bill episode this week, as we contemplate two pieces of evidence for one or two plays on Richard III. The first element comes from the licencing of a play, the other a reported line from a play. Are they the same play? Impossible to tell, but it helps make this episode a little more substantial. You can find the source for our text here. There is also an exposition on the Rowley play at the Lost Plays Database. With Aliki Chapple as the Messenger.
