''The Blind Beggar of Alexandria'' is an Elizabethan era stage play, a comedy written by George Chapman. It was the first of Chapman's plays to be produced on the stage; its success inaugurated his career as a dramatist. ==Performance and publication== The play was acted by the Admiral's Men at the Rose Theatre; the records of theatre impresario Philip Henslowe show that it premiered on 12 February 1596. A popular hit, ''Blind Beggar'' was staged 22 times through April 1597. (Performances of ''Blind Beggar'' on 15 April, 26 April and 13 May 1596 paid 40 shillings per day, a better and more consistent return than provided by most of the company's offerings that season.)〔John Payne Collier, ed., ''The Diary of Philip Henslowe, from 1591 to 1609'', London, The Shakespeare Society, 1845; pp. 67–8.〕 The play was revived in 1601 and 1602. The work was published after its initial run: it was entered into the Stationers' Register on 15 August 1598 and appeared in print later that year, in a quarto issued by the bookseller William Jones. (The play was less popular in print than on stage: the quarto was never reprinted. This set a pattern for Chapman's remaining dramatic career; with the exception of his masterpiece ''Bussy D'Ambois'', Chapman's plays rarely went through more than a single edition.)〔E. K. Chambers. ''The Elizabethan Stage,'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1923; Vol. 3, pp. 251–9.〕 The printed text, unfortunately, is mangled, incomplete, and unusually short; it likely represents a version cut down for an abbreviated stage presentation, which emphasizes the farcical comedy at the expense of the romantic main plot.〔Terence P.
