Westward Ho (play)

Westward Ho (or Ho!, or Hoe) is an early Jacobean-era stage play, a satire and city comedy by Thomas Dekker and John Webster that was first performed circa 1604. It had an unusual impact in that it inspired Ben Jonson, George Chapman and John Marston to respond with the famously controversial Eastward Ho (1605), landing Jonson and Chapman in jail.
