Fair Em is a play attributed to William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton, although its authorship is uncertain. The play tells the story of a young woman named Em who is kidnapped from her home and sold into slavery. She is eventually rescued by a nobleman named Valingford, who falls in love with her. However, Em is already betrothed to another nobleman named Mounteney. The play follows the love triangle between Em, Valingford, and Mounteney, as well as the various schemes and machinations of the supporting characters. Despite its uncertain authorship, Fair Em is considered an important work in the Shakespearean canon and offers a fascinating look into the popular theater of the late 16th century.TROTTER.
