The King’s Friend: A Play in Five Acts

by Robert Sulivan

About this book

In the French town of Mante, the wounded Marquis de Rosny tries to attend to affairs of state while his secretary struggles to keep pace. Robert Sulivan’s five-act play brings Henry IV and his circle into a story of friendship, loyalty and private attachments.

The complete published play retains the cast of characters, scene divisions, stage directions and dialogue. It also preserves Sulivan’s dedication to actor-manager Samuel Phelps and the notice of the first performance at Sadler’s Wells on 21 May 1845.
