I suppose “plays” doesn’t count either?

That’s a great first step! They’re about a special kind of play…

Well, if it weren’t for the third image, I would have guessed “comedies”, but that one clearly contains several tragedies (and the fifth one probably does as well). So I think I’ll have to stick with “plays” for now!

… plays performed during Christmas-season festivities staged by The Honourable Society of Gray’s Inn ?

Are they lost plays?

No, I spy a lot of extant titles.

looks like it was right – I guess it was that each image *contains* a lost play title

With Meaghan’s hint, I’m going to guess they all contain a reference to a revenge tragedy.

I’m not 100% certain, but I don’t think the John Day play mentioned in the first source is a revenge tragedy. How about plays with sequels / plays consisting of more than one “part”?

Or plays featuring kings, come to think of it. I’m pretty sure there’s at least one in every document.

Written pages look like a hodgepodge of plays that were finally all published alphabetically in a printed text
