Mortimer, His Fall – a tragedy by Ben Jonson (Fragment) Ben Jonson started writing his play about Mortimer, Earl of March - who was de facto ruler of England after bumping off Edward II - but sadly, he died before finishing it. All that survives is an outline, and this short opening scene between Mortimer and the Queen Mother, Isabell - which we have dutifully recreated for you here. Enjoy. Mortimer, Earl of March was played by Geir Madland, Isabell, the Queen Mother, by Gillian Horgan, and Ben Jonson’s Arguments by Heydn McCabe.
