 Nicholas UDALL
Udall was an intimate friend of John Leland, and with him he wrote a number songs to celebrate the coronation of Anne Boleyn, and at Eton he produced plays for his pupils to perform.
The comedy plays that came after Udall's owe a debt to his innovation in drama; from Marlowe to Shakespeare and beyond, and it is for this reason that he is important in the history of English drama.
Udall was in good terms with Gardiner, and replaced the protestant Alexander Nowell at the direction of Westminster in 1554.

 The Earliest English Comedies
The name of Nicholas Udall (born about 1505) is famous as the author of the first English comedy.
It will be remembered that in Miles Gloriosus, by Plautus, the chief character is the bragging soldier who told amazing tales of his exploits in foreign lands, made love to every pretty woman, freely offered to fight when there was no one to take him up, and fled when there was any sign of danger.
It was a reincarnation of Miles Gloriosus whom Udall introduced to the English stage about 1535 in Ralph Roister Doister, the first comedy in the English language.

 BookRags: Nicholas Udall Biography
An Oxford-trained classical scholar, Nicholas Udall belongs to the second generation of English humanists.
His works consistently reflect his trust in English as a language rich and flexible enough to transmit the subtleties of the classics and truth of the Bible to a modern reader.
It is therefore perhaps inevitable that the playwright whose one legitimate comedy, Ralph Roister Doister, brought the Roman five-act structure to the English stage should in the twentieth century have accumulated a little family of unattributed "classical" interludes.
