Fair Em is a play attributed to William Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton. The play is a romantic comedy that follows the story of the beautiful and virtuous Em, who is pursued by several suitors. However, Em is in love with the brave and honorable Valingford, who is forced to flee after being falsely accused of a crime. Em is then kidnapped by the deceitful Duke of Burgundy, who plans to marry her against her will. With the help of her loyal servant, Diccon, Valingford returns to rescue Em and expose the Duke's treachery. The play features themes of love, loyalty, and deception, and is notable for its use of rhyming couplets in the dialogue. While the authorship of the play is uncertain, it is believed to have been written in the early 1590s and was likely performed by the Lord Strange's Men, a popular acting troupe of the time.TROTTER.
