The Seven Deadly Sins (play)

Plot of the Second Part of the Seven Deadly Sins, ca. 1597–98.

The Seven Deadly Sins was a two-part play written c. 1585, attributed to Richard Tarlton, and most likely premiered by his company, Queen Elizabeth's Men.[1] The play drew upon the medieval tradition of the morality play; though it was very popular in its time, no copy of either part has survived.
