Doll Common, is the only character who is not a real historical person in Playhouse Creatures, she is a fictional character from Ben Johnson's play; "The Alchemist", April De Angelis used the Doll Common from Johnson's play because both of the plays are written in a similar time periods. Also both Dolls are poor and have come from the gutter.
When I was doing my research on Doll Common, I found it difficult because I was never 100% sure if it was correct. But one of the best place I got research from was the script! Because in her monologues she talks a lot about her childhood, she talks about the bear pits and her father a little.
Also, her surname "Common" that's already saying what she's like... Common, she's very common. I believe in Ben Johnson's play The Alchemist she was a prostitute and that's what her first name stands for.
