 Having passed the time during the plague composing prose pamphlets (including a continuation of Thomas Nashe's "Pierce Penniless"), he returned to drama with great energy, producing almost a score of plays for several companies and in several genres, most notably city comedy and revenge tragedy.He continued his collaborations with Dekker, and the two produced "The Roaring Girl", a biography of the contemporary thief Mary Frith.In the 1610s, Middleton began a fruitful collaboration with the actor William Rowley, producing "Wit at Several Weapons" and "A Fair Quarrel".
