As well as being, in all likelihood, ‘Shakespeare’s School’, King Edward VI School in Stratford-upon-Avon has another long-lasting connection to the plays of Shakespeare and his contemporaries. For over a decade, ‘K. E. S.’ has been home to Edward’s Boys, an all-boy acting troupe whose productions of plays by Francis Beaumont, Thomas Dekker and John Webster, John Ford, Ben Jonson, John Lyly, Christopher Marlowe, John Marston, Charles May, Thomas Middleton, Thomas Nashe and John Redford constitute the largest corpus of early modern drama in present-day performance.
