The Prisoners (play)
''The Prisoners'' is a Caroline era stage play, a tragicomedy written by Thomas Killigrew.〔Alfred Harbage, ''Thomas Killigrew, Cavalier Dramatist 1612–83'', Philadelphia, University of Pennsylvania Press, 1930; p. 44 and ff.〕 It was premiered onstage c. 1635, acted by Queen Henrietta's Men at the Cockpit Theatre; and was first printed in 1641. Killigrew's first play, ''The Prisoners'' inaugurated its author's playwriting career.
==Genre==
Killigrew's first essay in drama was in the tragicomic genre, as were his subsequent plays ''Claricilla'' and ''The Princess''. This is unsurprising, since tragicomedy was the favored genre of the court of Queen Henrietta Maria. The courtier dramatists of the 1630s, men like William Cartwright, Lodowick Carlell and Sir John Suckling, worked largely in tragicomedy. And Killigrew the courtier functioned in the same social and artistic milieu; "As part of Henrietta Maria's circle, he penned the courtly romances she favoured, such as ''The Prisoners''...."〔Deborah C. Payne, "Patronage and the Dramatic Marketplace under Charles I and II," in: Cedric Clive Brown, ed., ''Patronage, Politics, and Literary Traditions in England, 1558–1658'', Detroit, Wayne State University Press, 1993; p. 165 n. 23.〕 (For an extreme example of the type of drama favored at the Queen's court, see ''The Shepherd's Paradise''.)
