Silver Age

Silver Age

by Thomas Heywood

The Silver Age is a play by Thomas Heywood that retells classic Greek myths, weaving together the story of Jupiter's love for Alcmena, resulting in the birth of Hercules, and the abduction of Proserpine. The play borrows heavily from the story of Amphitryon, a comedic tale of mistaken identity and divine intervention. The play's concluding act features a dramatic 'arraignment of the moon,' a scene that may have been intended for a more elaborate theatrical presentation.
