Lost Media: The Stepmother's Tragedy

 The Stepmother's Tragedy is a play written by Henry Chettle and Thomas Dekker and is now considered lost. The play is mentioned in Philip Henslowe's diary in August of 1599. 

It's unknown, but the play may be associated with a ballad called "Isabella's Tragedy" or "Cruelty of a Stepmother". The Ballad is about how a duke was away hunting leaving his daughter Isabella behind with his wife. The wife and kitchen cook planned to kill the girl together and bake her into pies. When the Stepmother sent the girl to the kitchen and the cook attacked her. A scullery boy tries to prevent the murder and even offered himself to be put in the pies, but the girl was murdered and served instead. The Duke on his return did not see his daughter and refused to drink and eat until he saw her. The stepmother claimed that the girl had gone to church for prayer, but the scullery boy revealed the evil deeds of the stepmother and cook. The stepmother was burned at the stake and the cook boiled in lead. The scullery boy would become the duke's heir.

The Isle of Dogs

Ben Jonson                                  Thomas Nashe

The Isle of Dogs is a play that was written by Thomas Nashe and Ben Jonson in 1597. In July of 1597, it was performed in the Swan Theater. It was a satire that had political roots. It's unknown what the play consisted of, but the performance caused an uproar. It was immediately suppressed it for sedition and many of the people involved were jailed. All scripts for the play were seized and presumably destroyed.

It's possible that the play may have been about or part of it was about the Palace of Placentia where it was believed Queen Elizabeth had her dogs kenneled. It was also a meeting place for the Queens Privy Council to meet. It was criticized for its rowdy reception and that it embarrassed both the Queen and her Council.

Ben had been jailed multiple times due to his controversial work. After his death, most of his work was burned.
