Part of the Globe Quartos series, co published with Shakespeare's Globe marking their rediscoveries of forgotten plays by Shakespeare's contemporaries.



Once famed for its obscenity, this 17th century play by John Fletcher and Philip Massinger traces the fortunes of two brothers shipwrecked in a foreign land. By turns poignant and risqua , sentimental and satirical, its beautifully crafted plot embodies the collaborative art of its authors.



The Custom of the Country was given a staged reading in 1998 as part of Globe Education's on going programme to record with professional casts all the non Shakespearean plays of the English Renaissance.



This edition of the play is edited by Nick de Somogyi.
