Advertised in its Prologue as a prequel to Shakespeares Julius Caesar and Antony and Cleopatra, Fletcher and Massingers The False One is the first literary work completely to revolve around the affair between Caesar and Cleopatra. In its deployment of their liaison as a venue for the exploration and criticism of contemporary political manoeuvring and its high-spirited and pungent appropriation of Roman history, the play proves to be one of the most compelling Jacobean dramatizations of the classical past. This Revels Plays edition offers the first fully annotated, single-volume critical edition of The False One, with a thorough introduction that provides new insights on the date and the theatre of the plays first performance, examines the playwrights reworking of their sources and explores the theatrical potential of a play that has hitherto regrettably been lost to the dramatic repertory. -- .
