Sapho and Phao
''Sapho and Phao'' is an Elizabethan era stage play, a comedy written by John Lyly. One of Lyly's earliest dramas, it was likely the first that the playwright devoted to the allegorical idealisation of Queen Elizabeth I that became the predominating feature of Lyly's dramatic canon.
==Performance and publication==
''Sapho and Phao'' is known to have been performed at Court before Queen Elizabeth, probably on 3 March 1584; it was also staged at the first Blackfriars Theatre. In these respects it resembles ''Campaspe,'' Lyly's other early play; and like ''Campaspe,'' sources conflict on the identity of the acting company that performed the work. Court records credit "Oxford's boys," while the title page of the play's first edition specifies the Children of Paul's, Lyly's regular company, and the Children of the Chapel. The evidence, taken as a whole, may indicate that both plays, ''Campaspe'' and ''Sapho and Phao,'' were acted by a combination of personnel from three troupes of boy actors — those of Paul's and the Chapel and the young company that the Earl of Oxford maintained in the 1580s.〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage.'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 2, pp. 17–18, 39–40, Vol. 3, p. 415.〕
''Sapho'' was entered into the Stationers' Register on 6 April 1584 and was first published that year in a quarto edition printed by Thomas Dawson for the bookseller Thomas Cadman – the same men who were responsible for Q1 of ''Campaspe,'' also in 1584. And again like ''Campaspe,'' the first edition of ''Sapho'' was released in more than one "state" or impression: the two impression of the 1584 ''Sapho'' are sometimes defined as two separate quartos.〔G. K. Hunter and David Bevington, eds., ''Campaspe; Sapho and Phao,'' The Revels Plays; Manchester, Manchester University Press, 1999; pp. 141–5.〕
Another distinct quarto edition was issued in 1591, printed by Thomas Orwin for William Broome. The play was also included in ''Six Court Comedies,'' the initial collection of Lyly's plays published by Edward Blount in 1632.〔Chambers, Vol. 3, pp. 413–14.〕
