About

"Sejanus: His Fall" by Ben Jonson is a tragedy written in 1603 about Lucius Aelius Sejanus, the ambitious favorite of Roman Emperor Tiberius. First performed by the King's Men with a cast including William Shakespeare, the play was reportedly hissed off the stage at the Globe Theatre. Jonson later faced accusations of promoting "popery and treason" for reasons unknown, though no action was taken. The published version features extensive historical annotations and replaces an unnamed co-author's contributions with Jonson's own revisions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
