Day, John

Day, John (c.1574–c.1640),
one of the impecunious playwrights who wrote for the theatre-owner Philip Henslowe. His best-known play is The Isle of Gulls (1606), a satirical comedy loosely based on Sir Philip Sidney's Arcadia, which angered James I by referring to his private life. It has also been suggested that Day wrote Pericles with Shakespeare.
