The Scornful Lady
''The Scornful Lady'' is a Jacobean era stage play, a comedy written by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, and first published in 1616, the year of Beaumont's death. It was one of the pair's most popular, often revived, and frequently reprinted works.
==Performances==
The title page of the 1616 first edition states that the play was premiered by the Children of the Queen's Revels; it later passed into the possession of the King's Men, who revived the play in 1624.〔E. K. Chambers, ''The Elizabethan Stage,'' 4 Volumes, Oxford, Clarendon Press, 1823; Vol. 3, p. 229.〕 (The company's clown, John Shank, played the Curate in their 1624 production.) The King's Men acted ''The Scornful Lady'' on 19 October 1633, when Sir Henry Herbert, the Master of the Revels, refused to let them perform ''The Woman's Prize.'' Prince Charles, the future King Charles II, attended a performance of the play at the Cockpit-in-Court Theatre on Twelfth Night, 6 January 1642.
While the theatres were closed during the English Civil War and the Interregnum (1642–60), material was extracted from ''The Scornful Lady'' to form a droll called ''The False Heir and Formal Curate,'' published by Kirkman in ''The Wits''.
The play was revived early in the Restoration and became a standard in the repertory. In his Diary, Samuel Pepys recorded seeing it on 27 November 1660 and on 4 January 1661, both times with male actors in the title role, as was standard up to that time. Then Thomas Killigrew staged the play with women in the female parts; Pepys saw that production on 12 February 1661. Pepys saw the play again on 27 December 1666, 16 September 1667, and 3 June 1668. Charles Hart and Edward Kynaston were among the actors of the day who played in it.〔Arthur Colby Sprague, ''Beaumont and Fletcher on the Restoration Stage,'' Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press, 1926; pp. 42-3.〕 ''The Scornful Lady'' remained in the repertory until the middle of the 18th century.〔Sprague, p. 124.〕 Some early actresses acquired reputations for their work in the play; Anne Marshall was noted for her portrayal of the title character in the 1660s, while in the next century Mrs. Macklin, the wife of Charles Macklin, was a popular success as the servant Abigail.
