By 1598, he was regularly engaged as a player in the company; since no wages are mentioned, he was presumably a sharer in the company, as was normal for important company members. He was later a member of other companies, including Lord Southampton's, <a href="/wiki/Lord_Strange%27s_Men" title="Lord Strange's Men">Lord Strange's Men</a> and <a href="/wiki/Worcester%27s_Men" title="Worcester's Men">Worcester's Men</a> (who subsequently became known as <a href="/wiki/Queen_Anne%27s_Men" title="Queen Anne's Men">Queen Anne's Men</a>). During this time, Heywood was extremely prolific; in his preface to <i>The English Traveller</i> (1633) he describes himself as having had "an entire hand or at least a maine finger in two hundred and twenty plays". However, only twenty three plays and eight <a href="/wiki/Masque" title="Masque">masques</a> have survived that are accepted by historians as wholly or partially authored by him. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Creative_activity">Creative activity</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Heywood&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Creative activity"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Heywood's first play may have been <i><a href="/wiki/The_Four_Prentices_of_London" title="The Four Prentices of London">The Four Prentices of London</a></i> (printed 1615, but acted some fifteen years earlier).

His citizen comedies are noteworthy because of their physicality and energy. They provide a psycho-geography of the sights, smells, and sounds of London's wharfs, markets, shops, and streets which contrasts with the more conventional generalisations about the sites of commerce, which are satirised in city comedies. </p><p>Heywood wrote numerous prose works, mostly pamphlets about contemporary subjects, of interest now primarily to historians studying the period. His best known long essay is <i>An Apology for Actors</i>, a moderately-toned and reasonable reply to <a href="/wiki/Puritan" class="mw-redirect" title="Puritan">Puritan</a> attacks on the stage, which contains a wealth of detailed information on the actors and acting conditions of Heywood's day. It is in the "Epistle to the Printer" in this 1612 work that Heywood writes about <a href="/wiki/William_Jaggard" title="William Jaggard">William Jaggard</a>'s appropriation of two of Heywood's poems for the same year's edition of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Passionate_Pilgrim" title="The Passionate Pilgrim">The Passionate Pilgrim</a></i>. In 1641 Heywood had printed <i>The Life of Merlin Surnamed Ambrosius</i>. The book chronicled all the kings of England dating back to the legendary king Brutus, who had come from Troy to start an exploration and a new colony, up to Charles I who was the King when Heywood died. The book goes on to chronicle certain prophesies told by Merlin and the interpretations of each and explanation of each within the context of the modern world. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Final_two_decades">Final two decades</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Thomas_Heywood&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Final two decades"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>Between 1619 and 1624, Heywood seems to have inexplicably ceased all activity as an actor, but from 1624, until his death seventeen years later, his name frequently appears in contemporary accounts. In this period, Heywood was associated with Christopher Beeston's company at The Phoenix theatre, Queen Henrietta's Men or Lady Elizabeth's Men. At The Phoenix, Heywood produced new plays such as <i>The Captives</i>, <i>The English Traveller</i>, and <i><a href="/wiki/A_Maidenhead_Well_Lost" title="A Maidenhead Well Lost">A Maidenhead Well Lost</a></i> as well as revivals of old plays. Numerous volumes of his prose and poetry were published, including two lengthy poetic works, <i>Gynaikeion</i> (1624), described as "nine books of various history concerning women" and, eleven years later, <i>The Hierarchy of the Blessed Angels</i>. As a measure of Heywood's popular standing in the final years of his life, <i>Love's Mistress or the Queen's Masque</i>, a play published in 1636, but performed since 1634, was reported to have been seen by <a href="/wiki/Charles_I_of_England" title="Charles I of England">King Charles I</a> and his queen three times in eight days. </p><p>According to writings of the period, Thomas Heywood had been living in <a href="/wiki/Clerkenwell" title="Clerkenwell">Clerkenwell</a> since 1623 and it was there, at <a href="/wiki/St_James_Church,_Clerkenwell" class="mw-redirect" title="St James Church, Clerkenwell">St. James's Church</a> that he was buried eighteen years later. Because of the uncertainty regarding the year of his birth, his age can only be estimated, but he was likely in his late sixties, possibly having reached seventy. The date of the burial, 16 August 1641, the only documented date, also appears in a number of reference books as Heywood's death date, although he may actually have died days earlier. It may be presumed, however, that due to a possible August heatwave, the burial occurred on an expedited basis. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Works">Works</h2><span
