The Tempest

F.D. Waldron, The Virgin Queen, a Drama in Five Acts; Attempted as a Sequel to Shakspeare’s Tempest.

Printed for the Author, 1797

Waldron (bap. 1743, d. 1818) was a fairly successful actor whose performed plays never achieved much praise or a long run.  The Virgin Queen, published during the height of controversy over William Henry Ireland’s forgeries of Shakespeare, was never performed.
