Thomas Heywood byl plodný anglický dramatik, který působil na přelomu pozdní alžbětinské a rané jakobínské éry. Proslul zejména svými mistrovskými díly, včetně pozoruhodné domácí tragédie. Ačkoli tvrdil, že se podílel na dvou stovkách her, dochoval se pouze zlomek jeho rozsáhlého díla. Jeho hry často zkoumají lidskou povahu a společenské otázky své doby.
