Ulpian Fulwell
Ulpian Fulwell (1545/6 – 1584/5/6) was an English Renaissance theatre playwright, satirist and poet.[1][2]
He became a rector of Naunton in 1570 and a member of St. Mary Hall, Oxford in 1578.[2]
One of his works, Like Will to Like has been analyzed in a study exploring the themes of morality and vices in relation to the devil. The play has been further credited as being influential in a later play, Grim the Collier of Croydon. The play has been acted by Pembroke's Men at Henslowe's Rose Theatre on 28 October 1600.[3] Furthermore, the play has been acted out in 1968 by the Poculi Ludique Societas.[4]
