California Theater Creations presents
A Dramatic Reading of a Rare Drama from 1600 by California Stage actors:
“A Yorkshire Tragedy”
This play was originally believed to be the work of William Shakespeare, but due to recent analysis, Scholars feel fairly certain that it is the work of Thomas Middleton. However, we have also learned that Shakespeare probably had a hand in the development of the work. It played at the Globe and in 1600 Shakespeare was a major owner of The Globe Theater Company.
