	Gorboduc
		Gorboduc was the first play to use the medium of blank verse--and it did so well enough to set a trend, and to be grudgingly praised by Sir Philip Sidney.
		Gorboduc was written for performance before Queen Elizabeth, and it is evident that the writers (two young noblemen, Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville) were concerned to instruct the Queen tactfully in the essential business of ensuring that she left an undisputed heir to the throne.
		Gorboduc is known to have been performed in the Great Hall at the Inns of Court (where lawyers were trained), and before Queen Elizabeth (click to see staging at Court); it may also have been performed at the home of one of the authors, Knole House.

	Faust and Gorboduc
		Besides, Gorboduc, written by Thomas Norton and Thomas Sackville and first performed in 1561, adhered to an old form of tragedy: the Senecan tragedy but it also modifies that tradition to express concepts of Tudor political theory.
		Its introduction in England was due to the Earl of Surrey and it was firstly used in drama by Thomas Sackville and Thomas Norton in the Gorboduc.

		In his lifetime he divided his kingdom between his sons Ferrex and Porrex, thereby creating great civil strife in which the two sons were killed.
		Gorboduc, or Ferrex and Porrex, the first English blank verse tragedy, was performed by the players of the Inner Temple in 1561.
		The first edition of the play, published in 1565, attributes the first three acts to Thomas Norton (1532–84) and the last two to Thomas Sackville.

	The Political Gorboduc (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		Gorboduc was first performed before the lawyers of the Inner Temple as a part of the Christmas and New Year festivities of 1561-62, in which Queen Elizabeth I's favourite, Lord Robert Dudley, presided as Lord Governor of the Christmas revels (Ribner 37).
		According to Clare Rider, although Gorboduc has also been interpreted as propaganda in favour of the succession claims of the English Lady Catherine Grey over the foreign born and French educated Mary Queen of Scots, it seems certain that its primary purpose was to support the marriage suit of Lord Robert Dudley.
		Clare Rider’s essay “Gorboduc or The Tragedy of Ferrex and Porrox” is to be published in The Inner Temple Yearbook 2002/2003 (www.innertemple).

		The spectators often paid more attention to these intermedii than to the drama, to the disgust of dramatists, who were loud in their complaints; 11 and a contemporary critic remarks that they were of special interest to foreign visitors, who did not understand Italian.
		Gorboduc seems to have found no imitators immediately: it was not published till 1565, and then surreptitiously.
		When, however, the members of Gray’s inn presented a comedy and a tragedy in 1566, they obviously took as their model for the latter the drama which had been acted with much applause by the gentlemen of the Inner Temple, and which had just been published.

	Notes on Gorboduc
		Gorboduc seems to be reminding its audience that the civil wars of the fifteenth century (The Wars of the Roses) produced horrible chaos [which they perhaps did not] and reassuring the Queen (also in the audience) that those lessons have not been forgotten.
		Gorboduc is an instrument of control (a piece of state propaganda designed to influence political thought).
		Gorboduc asserts that the natural order (God's order) is the order of the current socio-political order and that any attempt to change that order is a violation of God's will, which God will punish.

	Gorboduc notes
		Gorboduc is in part an allegorical character in that he is most important for his political function; he is a symbol of the realm at least as much as he is a human being.
		The extreme of the puritan position (also shared by some Catholic theorists of the time) is that since kings are required by God to rule for the benefit of the people, when they fail to do so they need no longer be obeyed and may even be removed from office by force.
		In Gorboduc, characters are often subject to wayward wills or to personalities at war with themselves, and hence choose steps leading to their destruction.

	BookRags: Thomas Sackville Biography
		His collaborator in the writing of Gorboduc presents a contrast to this gentle and gracious man. The eldest son of Thomas Norton and his first wife, Elizabeth Merry, the younger Thomas Norton was born into a family closely associated with the Grocers' Company in London, at whose expense he was sent to Cambridge.
		But when they wrote Gorboduc, they were still young and maturing men who could agree--in general if not in detail--on what was for them and the realm a matter of great concern--the succession to the crown.
		In their play, Gorboduc, growing old, divides his kingdom, with the best of intentions and after much advice, between his two sons, Ferrex and Porrex.

	Senecan tragedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Elizabethan dramatists found Seneca's themes of bloodthirsty revenge more congenial to English taste than they did his form.
		The first English tragedy, Gorboduc (1561), by Thomas Sackville and Thomas Norton, is a chain of slaughter and revenge written in direct imitation of Seneca.
		Senecan tragedy is also evident in Shakespeare's Hamlet; the revenge theme, the corpse-strewn climax, and such points of stage machinery as the ghost can all be traced back to the Senecan model

		In spite of their heavy narrative form, these poems are in places even more dramatic than the dull tragedy of Gorboduc, which was fashioned after the classical rules of Seneca and the Greeks.
		There is considerable bloodshed in the play; but the spectators are informed of the carnage by a messenger, as they are not permitted to witness a bloody contest on the stage.

		Niece of King Gorboduc: Gorboduc was a mythical King of England and the subject of an early Elizabethan play by Norton and Sackville [9].
		(This is deduced from the historical record of the Gorboduc performances, in which the Inner Temple performance was followed by a second performance at court.) I think instead that the allusions were intended for posterity, and were written into the text in the hope that the play would some day appear in print.
		There is the coincidence with the title of the latter play, for Gorboduc originally was intended for a single performance on Twelfth Night; that is, January 6, 1562 [16].

		In this play the genre Drama has assumed a very strange garb; it is so stiff in movement and so full of elaborate set speeches that it is difficult for us nowadays to appreciate it as drama at all.
