Blurt, Master Constable is a late Elizabethan comedy, interesting for the authorship problem it presents. The play is subtitled "The Spaniards' Night Walk," and an allusion to the Spanish in Ireland in the play's final scene - there was a Spanish raid on Ireland in September 1601 - helps to fix the date of the play to 1601-2. Blurt was entered into the Stationers' Register on 7 June 1602, and published later in that year in quarto, printed by Edward Allde for the bookseller Henry Rocket (the single edition in the 17th century). The title page of the quarto states that the play was acted by the Children of Paul's, one of the troupes of boy actors performing at the time.

The Bloody Banquet is an early 17th-century play, a revenge tragedy of uncertain date and authorship, attributed on its title page only to "T.D." It has attracted a substantial body of critical and scholarly commentary, chiefly for the challenging authorship problem it presents. It has been attributed to a collaboration between Thomas Dekker and Thomas Middleton.

Originally published in four volumes between 1953 and 1961, this edition of Thomas Dekker's plays was the first to appear in print since the late nineteenth century. It was edited by Professor Fredson Bowers, who presented a critical old-spelling text of the ordinarily accepted canon, together with a few works not collected previously but which seemed to merit inclusion in a collection of Dekker's plays. In 1980 and 1981, Professor Cyrus Hoy augmented Professor Bowers' existing four-volume edition with a complementary four-volume set of introductions, notes, and line-by-line commentaries to each of the twenty-five plays. All eight volumes have been collected here in a single set, offering Professor Bowers' original edition of Dekker's works in tandem with the full complement of critical material by Professor Hoy.

Two little known Elizabethan plays, one a comedy the other a tragedy, both set in the village of Edmonton, now a neighbourhood of North London, here adapted for production in Edmonton, Canada. Both plays were given their first performance in the City of Edmonton as staged readings as part of Malachite Theatre's first Winter Shakespeare Festival, January, 2020. In the "Merry Devil of Edmonton", follow the exploits of Smug the Smith and his friends as they poach deer, sing songs, and, under the guidance of the magician, Fabell, help the younger generation pull their elders into the Sixteenth Century! And, in "The Witch of Edmonton", follow the tragic true story of Elizabeth Sawyer, an impoverished woman scapegoated as a witch by her fellow villagers and lead to the gallows.

The Witch of Edmonton is an English Jacobean play, written by William Rowley, Thomas Dekker and John Ford in 1621. The play-"probably the most sophisticated treatment of domestic tragedy in the whole of Elizabethan-Jacobean drama"-is based on supposedly real-life events that took place in the village of Edmonton, then outside London, earlier that year. The play depicts Elizabeth Sawyer, an old woman shunned by her neighbours, who gets revenge by selling her soul to the Devil, who appears to her in the shape of a black dog called Tom. In addition, there are two subplots. One depicts a bigamist who murders his second wife at the devil's prompting, and the other depicts a clownish yokel who befriends the devil-dog.
