The Faithful Shepherdess The Faithful Shepherdess is a Jacobean era stage play, the work that inaugurated the playwriting career of John Fletcher. Though the initial production was a failure with its audience, the printed text that followed proved significant, in that it contained Fletcher's influential definition of tragicomedy. Like many of Fletcher's later tragicomedies, "The Faithful Shepherdess" deals with the darker side of sexuality and sexual jealousy, albeit within a comic framework.
