  • Galatea o Gallathea è una commedia di John Lyly, messa in scena per la prima volta nel 1588 a Palace of Placentia davanti ad Elisabetta I d'Inghilterra e alla sua corte. La commedia, recitata dagli attori bambini della compagnia di St Paul, è ambientata in un bosco dello Lincolnshire sulle rive dello Humber, e ha per protagonisti fanciulle travestite da uomini, pastori, ninfee e divinità greche come Diana, Cupido e Nettuno. Il "cross-dressing" delle protagoniste, così come l'ambientazione silvana come luogo di confusione, sarà ripreso e sviluppato da Shakespeare in numerose commedie, come Sogno di una notte di mezza estate e Come vi piace.
