Agnes Howe, a London heiress, promised marriage to three men, but then married a fourth. John Flaskett, one of her scorned suitors, commissioned George Chapman to write a scurrilois play about the scandal as a means of pressuring Howe into honouring her promise to him. The play was bought for and produced at St Paul's; its performance sparked a series of lawsuits. John Woodford replies to the interrogatories. He admits that he bought the play from Chapman for 20 marks, and that it was played several times by the children of Paul's last Hilary term. He notes that it was licensed by the Master of Revels before it was performed, and that he [the Master of Revels?] has 'the book itself without altering of it . . . since the last of February last'.
