Other Drama
Burby published a number of other plays, attributed or anonymous, during his career:
- The Cobbler's Prophecy, Robert Wilson (1594)
- George a Greene, or The Pinner of Wakefield (1599)
- A Knack to Know an Honest Man (1596)
- Mother Bombie, John Lyly (1594, 1598)
- Orlando Furioso, Robert Greene (1594, 1599).
Burby's relationship with the texts of Robert Greene is worth noting; in addition to Orlando Furioso, Burby issued Greene's pamphlets The Third and Last Part of Coney-Catching and The Repentance of Robert Greene (both 1592). The play George a Greene has sometimes been attributed to Greene's pen.
Burby often worked with the printers John Danter and Simon Stafford, as with many of the texts listed above.

Famous quotes containing the word drama:
“Only in the problem play is there any real drama, because drama is no mere setting up of the camera to nature: it is the presentation in parable of the conflict between Man’s will and his environment: in a word, of problem.”
—George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)
“To save the theatre, the theatre must be destroyed, the actors and actresses must all die of the plague. They poison the air, they make art impossible. It is not drama that they play, but pieces for the theatre. We should return to the Greeks, play in the open air; the drama dies of stalls and boxes and evening dress, and people who come to digest their dinner.”
—Eleonora Duse (1859–1924)
