Fair Maid of the West - Thomas Heywood 1599

The Fair Maid Of The West:
Creative Cow Theatre Company



"A fantastic piece of theatre! A real romp involving much swashbuckling on the high seas, led by Bess Bridges, landlady of the Windmill pub in Fowey.

Donning doublet and hose, this courageous Cornish lass turns to piracy, and sets off on a mission to find her lover who has been captured off the coast of Spain.

Written by Thomas Heywood in 1599, every time it is performed this epic yarn proves that Shakespeare wasn't the only Elizabethan playwright who came up with colourful characters, great comedy and a cracking story.
