Title Fair Em
Credits Tony Adam
Summary "Fair Em" by William Shakespeare (apocryphal) is a comedic play set during the medieval period. This work combines elements of romance and drama, focusing on the themes of love, honor, and the complexities of social status. It primarily revolves around the character of Fair Em, the daughter of a miller, who finds herself at the center of various romantic pursuits and conflicts involving nobility and commoners alike. The storyline unfolds with William the Conqueror, who becomes enamored with Fair Em while disguised as a common knight named Robert of Windsor. His quest for love parallels that of other characters, such as Mountney and Valingford, who are also vying for Em's affection against the backdrop of jealousy and rivalry. As misunderstandings and deceptions abound, Fair Em navigates the complicated landscape of love while striving to maintain her honor. The play culminates in a resolution that centers around the true nature of love and commitment, with Fair Em ultimately finding her place among the knights and lords in a richly woven narrative blending romance with comedic elements.
