Endymion (play)
''Endymion, the Man in the Moon'' is an Elizabethan era stage play, a comedy by John Lyly. The play provides a vivid example of the cult of flattery in the royal court of Queen Elizabeth I, and has been called "without doubt, the boldest in conception and the most beautiful in execution of all Lyly's plays."〔Wilson, John Dover. ''John Lyly.'' Cambridge, Macmillan and Bowes, 1905; p. 107.〕
==Performance and publication==
The play's date of authorship is not known with certainty; it was acted at Greenwich Palace by the Children of Paul's, most likely on Candlemas, 2 February 1588.〔Chambers, E. K. ''The Elizabethan Stage.'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 2, p. 18.〕 ''Endymion'' was entered into the Stationers' Register on 4 October 1591, and was first published soon after in a quarto printed by John Charlwood for Joan Broome (the widow of bookseller William Broome, who had published reprints of Lyly's ''Campaspe'' and ''Sapho and Phao'' earlier in 1591). It was published again in ''Six Court Comedies'' (1632), the first collected edition of Lyly's plays issued by Edward Blount.
''Endymion'' is currently in a state of revival. The 2009 American Shakespeare Center's Young Company produced the first Original staging practices production of ''Endymion'', under the direction of Brett Sullivan Santry, in an estimated 400 years. While the script was shortened, the performance included a cast of noteworthy young American actors including; Ben Lauer as Endymion, Mary Margaret Watkins as Cynthia, and Mariah Webb as Tellus.
A 2012 full production by the T24 Drama Society of the University of Kent took place, directed by Freddy Waller and starring John Davis as Endymion and Holly Morran as Cynthia.〔http://www.kent.ac.uk/news/homepagestories/students-give-rare-performance/2011〕
