Content:
Jonson's exuberant comedy uses the carnival energy of Bartholmew Fair, an actual fair held in a disreputable suburb of London, to dramatize, satirize and celebrate the appetites and comic frailties of the human body. The depiction of the Fair, teeming with sleazy but energetic life, is one of the great creations of English drama. 'Bartholmew Fair' is said to have been first performed in 1613 at the Hope playhouse
