...In which the TLS blog cites the LPD! (Compare that with the opposite extreme, represented by the Lost Plays Database set up a few years ago. Heres what kept Tudor and Stuart England entertained besides Shakespeare between 1570 and 1642, and of which we know sometimes only a title and a few tantalizing details. A Bad Beginning Makes a Good Ending was probably a comedy performed at Shakespeares company, the Kings Men, at Court in the winter holiday season of 1612–13. Another company, the Earl of Worcesters Men, may have had another Osric (Marshall Osric by Thomas Heywood and Wentworth Smith), around the time of Shakespeares Hamlet.
