Drake of England (play)

Drake of England is a British play by Louis N. Parker which was first staged in 1912. It is a pageant-like work celebrating the career of the Elizabethan sailor Sir Francis Drake, particularly his role in the defeat of the Armada of 1588. It was originally written for Sir Herbert Tree to play the role of Drake.[1]

Adaptation

In 1935 the play served as the basis for the film Drake of England, directed by Arthur B. Woods and starring Matheson Lang as Drake.[2]

gollark: Fascinating. I somewhat agree with their philosophy, but mostly not the conclusions they seem to have ended up with.
gollark: But yes, I checked and it is apparently "a dynamic window manager".
gollark: However, its website literally contains the text> Because dwm is customized through editing its source code, it's pointless to make binary packages of it. This keeps its userbase small and elitist. No novices asking stupid questions. There are some distributions that provide binary packages though.
gollark: I see.
