Attributed to "W.S." on its title page, this anonymous play has been linked to both Shakespeare and Thomas Middleton, though modern scholars favor Middleton's authorship. The story follows Lady Plus, a demonstrative Puritan widow, and her calculating family as they navigate grief, marriage prospects, and social ambition. Meanwhile, a group of clever rogues—including a poor scholar and discharged soldiers—plot to deceive the wealthy widow through cons involving fortune-telling and wizardry, setting the stage for satirical comedy.
