In 1597, the satirical play "Isle of Dogs" by Thomas Nashe and Ben Jonson opened at the Swan Theater in London. It was a howling success with its first and only audience, but the authorities were not amused. The play was slammed shut, most everyone connected with it was arrested, and all scripts seized and burnt. Only a few scraps of evidence survive about the play. This is an attempted restoration. You will be regaled with the roast of Elizabethan nobles, and be a companion of duplicitous actors. It is a comedy of scandalous pith; nothing was too good for the hounds of London. Beware of little Margot, she bites. She hath no art. COPYRIGHT, 2024…mehr
