Characters

We pieced together fragments of the Page of Plymouth story from the two most contemporary sources. The first is a pamphlet, printed in 1591 called Sundry strange and inhumane murders, lately committed, which describes the murder of Master Page of Plymouth. The second is a trio of ballads, attributed to Thomas Deloney, a writer of popular ballads in the sixteenth century. The ballads are written as if in the voices of Eulalia and George, awaiting their execution. 

These are characters who may have featured in Jonson and Dekker’s lost play Page of Plymouth. They are figures we sometimes glimpsed in the archives and who were reimagined in illustration workshops and creative writing workshops.
