The edited edition of Mary Frith's attributed diary is published as: Todd, Janet & Elizabeth Spearing ed. 1994. Counterfeit Ladies: The Life and Death of Mary Frith Case of Mary Carleton. William Pickering, London. ISBN 1-85196-087-2
Ellen Galford's novel Moll Cutpurse depicts her as enjoying a long-term same-sex relationship. I reviewed the novel here.
The Roaring Girl by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker
There is a version of the text of The Roaring Girl at archive.org, but the OCR version has not been cleaned up and is difficult to read.
A full-cast audio production of The Roaring Girl is available from librivox.org here. Based on a brief sample, the performance appears to be highly professional and easy to follow.
I found two complete (although not necessarily unabridged) productions of The Roaring Girl on YouTube. Both are amateur productions and of highly variable quality.
The Roaring Girl - Noah McBrayer Jones' MFA Candidacy Presentation Fall 2007 at American Shakespeare Center's Blackfriars Playhouse
The Roaring Girl - performed by by the Students of West Suffolk College (sound volume is variable)
