Albumazar
''Albumazar'' is a Jacobean era play, a comedy written by Thomas Tomkis that was performed and published in 1615.〔Hugh G. Dick, ed., ''Albumazar: a Comedy ()'', Berkeley, University of California Press, 1944.〕
==Productions==
The play was specially commissioned by Trinity College, Cambridge to entertain King James I during his 1615 visit to the University. College officials sought a play from alumnus Tomkis, then a lawyer in Wolverhampton, who had written the successful ''Lingua'' for his college a decade earlier. Gentlemen of Trinity College acted ''Albumazar'' before the King and his court on 9 March 1615 (new style). One report on this production from an audience member survives, in a letter from John Chamberlain to Dudley Carleton – though Chamberlain thought it a failure.〔Zachary Lesser, ''Renaissance Drama and the Politics of Publication: Readings in the English Book Trade'', Cambridge, Cambridge University Press, 2004; p. 71.〕
The play was revived onstage during the Restoration, by the Duke's Company at their theatre at Lincoln's Inn Fields; Samuel Pepys saw it on 22 February 1668. In 1744 playwright James Ralph adapted Tomkis's play into his ''The Astrologer;'' it was not a success, and ran for one performance only. In 1747 David Garrick revived Tomkis's original; and in 1773 Garrick made and staged his own adaptation.
