Note return to page 1 This “Falstaff sketch”, which offers the highway robbery incident
and its aftermath as a single selected highlight from the play,
probably dates from the late 1640s or 1650s, when the public
playhouses had been shut down by the Puritan government but some
groups of actors still dared to act short ‘drolls’ such as this
at inns, private houses and fairs.
