The Devil Is an Ass
''The Devil Is an Ass'' is a Jacobean comedy by Ben Jonson, first performed in 1616 and first published in 1631.〔Chambers, Vol. 3, p. 373.〕
''The Devil Is an Ass'' followed ''Bartholomew Fair'' (1614), one of the author's greatest works, and marks the start of the final phase of his dramatic career. However just or unjust may be the characterisation of Jonson's later plays as his "dotages," there would be no more great works after ''Bartholomew Fair,'' and a full decade would elapse between ''The Devil Is an Ass'' and Jonson's next play, ''The Staple of News''.
==Performance and publication==
The 1616 production was by the King's Men; the play probably received its première at the Blackfriars Theatre in October or November of the year. Robert Johnson composed music for the play.
The initial publication of the play was somewhat irregular, in that Jonson intended to include it in a second folio collection of his works in 1631, but scrapped the plan when he was dissatisfied with the printing. Copies of the 1631 printed text were released, though whether they were sold publicly or circulated privately by Jonson is unclear. The play was included in the eventual second folio of Jonson's works (1640–1), published after his death in 1637, and also was issued in a separate "variant reprint edition" in 1641.〔See the Introduction to the Johnson edition, pp. xi–xiii.〕
