In 1601, in addition to their tangential involvement with the Essex rebellion, the company played a role in a less serious conflict, the so-called War of the Theatres. They produced Thomas Dekker's "Satiromastix", a satire on Ben Jonson that seems to have ended the dispute. Somewhat uncharacteristically, Jonson does not appear to have held a grudge against the company; in 1603, they staged his "Sejanus", with dissatisfying results. They also performed "The London Prodigal", "The Merry Devil of Edmonton", and "The Fair Maid of Bristow", the last a rarity in that it is a Chamberlain's play that has never been attributed in any part to Shakespeare.
