- New York, NY (1888PressRelease) November 05, 2015 - Sejanus His Fall is a drama tragedy written by Ben Johnson in 1603 but the play is known as Sejanus Ben Johnson. Readers want to read the play authored by Johnson as there was a co-author who spoiled the play with his writings.
"It was in 1604 when the play was produced at a theatre when the drama was termed an act of treachery and Ben Johnson had to appear before the king for the allegations of treason. The allegations were leveled because of the drams and Johnson took responsibility of writing the play. King pardoned Ben Johnson because he wasn't found guilty", said owner of a free library.
Soon after his release, Ben Johnson revised the play to find faults and to his surprise, he found many faults by the co-author. He started revising the play and soon produced a revised edition ready-to-be-published. First revised edition was published in quarto in 1605, a year after his acquittal from the charges. From here Sejanus His Fall became Sejanus Ben Johnson.
The revised edition was an instant hit and there arose demand for more editions. Ben Johnson produced another edition in 1616 but this time the edition was in folio. Today the drama is available in modern look and layout. Last time the drama was played on a stage was in 1928 and that was after three centuries.
"It was in 1604 that that play was termed as an act of treachery. But first time when Sejanus Ben Johnson, there were no such charges. Johnson brought the drama in public domain in 1603 and in the same year, the play was produced by king's men at the court. The drama was praised even by the king but a year later the same drama was termed treachery", added the owner of free library.
It was clear that someone tweaked the drama and it was a co-author. But soon the drama was cleared of all the irresponsible material and presented in a fresh format. Avid readers read this drama online on our website. Ours is a free reading platform where anyone can read the play.
