Richard Brome Author

Richard Brome (c.1590-1653) was an English dramatist of the Caroline era who wrote for all the major acting companies and theatres. His career as a playwright was put on hold during one of the longest periods of theatre closure. When theatres reopened during the Restoration, a handful of Brome's plays were performed and republished, and the most successful of these was A Jovial Crew. Tiffany Stern is Professor of Early Modern Drama and Fellow of University College at the University of Oxford, UK.
