Anything For A Quiet Life is a comedic play written by Thomas Middleton in the early 17th century. The play follows the story of Sir Francis Acton, an aging knight who is desperate to maintain his status and wealth. To achieve this, he marries a young woman named Lady Purbeck, who is already married to another man. The play explores the consequences of this decision, as Sir Francis must navigate the complex relationships and schemes of his family and friends. Along the way, the play touches on themes of greed, loyalty, and the lengths people will go to maintain their social standing. With its witty dialogue and colorful characters, Anything For A Quiet Life remains a popular choice for productions today.Knavesbee I Had Last Night One Of The Strangest Dreams;methought I Was Thy Confessor, Thou Mine, And We Reveal'd Between Us Privately How Often We Had Wrong'd Each Other's Bed Since We Were Married.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
