Thomas Killigrew

Thomas Killigrew (1612 - March 19, 1683), was an English dramatist.

The son of Sir Robert Killigrew, of Hanworth, he was a witty, dissolute figure at the court of King Charles II of England. Along with Sir William Davenant, he was given a royal warrant to form a theatre company, which became known as the King's Company, its original members being Michael Mohun, William Wintershall, Robert Shatterall, William Cartwright, Walter Clun, Charles Hart and Nicholas Burt. Killigrew wrote nine plays, each in a different city. Of them the best known is The Parson's Wedding. In 1673, he was appointed Master of the Revels.
