John Fletcher

    John Fletcher byl jedním z nejplodnějších a nejvlivnějších dramatiků své doby, jehož sláva v době jeho života a na počátku restaurace konkurovala Shakespearově. Jeho raná kariéra byla poznamenána spoluprací s Francisem Beaumontem, s nímž téměř deset let spolupracoval na psaní her. Fletcher je významnou přechodnou postavou mezi alžbětinskou lidovou tradicí a populárním dramatem restaurace, který ovlivnil směřování divadla svým jedinečným stylem.
