Nay, Remember Me! is a comedy about the printing of the first complete works of William Shakespeare’s plays – The First Folio of 1623. 

In the play, Shakespeare appears as a ghost; actors become editors and a wayward apprentice turns order into chaos. 

The play also propels the story forward to Washington DC in the 19th Century to unravel the story of the greatest collector of First Folios – Henry Clay Folger founder of the Folger Library.  

This fast-paced, witty, feel-good play was first performed in Stratford-upon-Avon at the Royal Shakespeare Company’s Other Place Theatre to packed audiences in 2001. It was reprised in 2010 in Malvern and Devon and was nominated for a NODA award. Ideal for amateur companies, schools, colleges and universities. Malvern Theatre Players have a full archive and can loan costumes, props and have video and photographic library of their production. 

Amelia Marriette has an MA in Shakespeare Studies and as well as writing she also acts and directs; all of her plays have been performed and are tried and tested.

Vindice, the play’s protagonist, appears on stage holding the skull of his dead fiancée, Gloriana, who was killed by the Duke as punishment for refusing his advances. As the Duke and his entourage pass by Vindice vows from the shadows to take his revenge. 

Vindice meets with his brother, Hippolito who agrees to help Vindice in his quest to seek justice. Hippolito informs Vindice that Lussurioso, the Duke’s son, has asked Hippolito to procure a “pander” or pimp to help win the affections of an especially chaste virgin. 

Seizing on this opportunity, Vindice disguises himself as “Piato” the pander and takes on Lussurioso’s mission—but to his horror the virgin in question is Castiza, his sister. Ideal for amateur companies, schools, colleges and universities.
