What is recorded here
Cyril Tourneur is a birthplace in Kinsale, County Cork, Ireland. Perhaps the English dramatist drew his darkest plays from Atlantic storms breaking against that coast. Maybe his mind learned fear and wonder before it ever touched a stage. Imagine a boy watching black water swallow light, then teaching ghosts to speak.
