      The Massacre at Paris

      This unfinished play portrays the Duc de Guise’s dealings in the Saint Bartholomew’s Day Massacre, which took place in Paris in 1572.  The Lord Strange’s Men acted a play titled The Tragedy of the Guise, thought to be this play, on Jan. 26, 1593.

It preserves a lot of the violence and stabbing jokes, but seems to lack Marlowe’s skilled writing, except for one long soliloquy near the beginning.
