 However, it is possible to narrow the date further.A "terminus ante quem" for "A Shrew" seems to be August 1592, as a stage direction at 3.21 mentions "Simon," which probably refers to the actor Simon Jewell, who was buried on 21 August 1592.Furthermore, "The Shrew" must have been written earlier than 1593, as Anthony Chute's "Beauty Dishonoured, written under the title of Shore's wife" (published in June 1593) contains the line "He calls his Kate, and she must come and kiss him."
