Best Answer

The Elizabethan and Jacobean ages featured a flowering of dramatists. They needed a constant supply of new plays for the various acting companies, so there was plenty of work to go around. Some of the other famous playwrights of the time were George Peele, Robert Greene, Christopher Marlowe, Thomas Kyd, Thomas Dekker, Thomas Middleton, Thomas Heywood, Ben Jonson, John Fletcher, Francis Beaumont, John Webster, Cyril Tourneur, and Philip Massinger. That's just some of them.
