He went on to work as an actor, director and eventually as an actor, playwright and shareholder in one of London's top theatre companies. He inherited and developed the three traditions of European theatre, creatively innovating from content to form, becoming the greatest playwright of the Renaissance and revered as The Most Famous Revenge Play of Savon.
