Play
The play is a tragic and darkly comic story of betrayal. It is often expurgated to remove objectionable elements.[2] Deadnettle is humiliated in the fourth act.[3]
In the Chronicle
A young Kvothe played a noble's son in the play with his troupe.[4] The play is performed in Imre whilst Kvothe studies at the University.[2]
Deadnettle shares his name with a plant used in medicines including the tea Kvothe prepares for Denna to help with her lungs and later in a medicinal tea for the Maer.[5][6]
