Queen Anne's Men
Queen Anne's Men (German: Men of Queen Anne ) were a theater company in the era of Jacob I.
The group was founded on the occasion of James I's accession to the throne in 1603 and was named after its patroness, James' wife, Anna of Denmark . It was the amalgamation of two pre-existing companies, Oxford's Men and Worcester's Men. Its most prominent members included Christopher Beeston , its director, and actor and playwright Thomas Heywood , who wrote many of his works, including The Rape of Lucretia ( Lucretia's rape ) (printed in 1608) and wrote The Golden Age ( The Golden Age ) (in 1611 printed). William Kempe ended his career in this society when he died between 1607 and 1608.
