"Philaster; Or, Love Lies a Bleeding" by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher is a tragicomedy written between 1608-1610. Set in a conquered Sicily, the rightful heir Philaster lives as a nobleman while a usurper king plots to secure his throne by marrying his daughter Arethusa to a Spanish prince. But Arethusa loves Philaster, and their romance becomes entangled in court intrigue, false accusations, and a disguised page whose secret could change everything.
Political rebellion and personal passion collide in this influential early Stuart drama. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
