John Fletcher, a prominent Jacobean playwright, succeeded Shakespeare as the house playwright for the King's Men and was known for his prolific output and influence during his time. He collaborated with Francis Beaumont and contributed to two plays with Shakespeare, achieving fame that rivaled the Bard's in his era. Despite his diminished reputation in later years, Fletcher is recognized as a crucial transitional figure between the Elizabethan theatrical tradition and the Restoration's popular drama.
