Elements of what play was based on Henry VIII's' unconsummated marriage to his fourth wife Anne of Cleves?
The Play of Wit and Science The Play of Wit and Science is a mid-sixteenth-century English morality play written by John Redford. It is notable as one of the earliest plays to develop a moral thesis as part of a nominally unrelated plot. Redford was best known as a composer of keyboard music, and the play was written to be performed by the children's choir of St. Paul's Cathedral. The play concerns itself with education rather than salvation, stemming from Redford's role as a teacher rather than as a preacher. The character Wit initially sets off with naive enthusiasm to learn by his own initiative, but eventually gains appreciation for the guidance of instruction in a narrative that contains elements of chivalric romance. Elements of the play may also be a reference to Henry VIII's marriage to his fourth wife, Anne of Cleves.
The Game of Love and Chance The Game of Love and Chance (French: "Le Jeu de l'amour et du hasard" ) is a three-act romantic comedy by French playwright Marivaux. "The Game of Love and Chance" was first performed 23 January 1730 by the Comédie Italienne. In this play, a young woman is visited by her betrothed, whom she does not know. To get a better idea of the type of person he is, she trades places with her servant and disguises herself. However, unbeknownst to her, her fiancé has the same idea and trades places with his valet. The "game" pits the two false servants against the two false masters, and in the end, the couples fall in love with their appropriate counterpart.
