Plays


Over the centuries there have been a number of plays written about Lady Jane. In his article, 'The Many Faces of Lady Jane Grey', Frank Prochaska, names a number of them.

In his article, 'A Performance of Rowe's Lady Jane Gray in 1852'', Martin Spies argues that the last performance of Rowe's play was not at Covent Garden, London in 1774 but at The Theatre Royal, Hull in 1852. He also names other plays that are about or feature Lady Jane.
