Page "Parnassus plays" Paragraph 1

Authorship of the plays is uncertain, nor is it known if they were all the work of the same person.

John Weever has been suggested as author of the first play ; the satirist Joseph Hall has been seen as an influence on — if not the author of — the other two, though recent statistical tests bring Hall's authorship into question.

The dramatist John Day has also been proposed as a possible author.
