Description:A Jovial Crew," or the" Merry Beggars," is a comedy about four noble lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of dance and song. Or is it? Whilst maintaining its unremitting good humour, " A Jovial Crew "shows that the literary depiction of beggar life, and real beggar life, are profoundly different. Daily aspects of life in the beggar world poverty, dirt, licentiousness come as a surprise to the well-born, who are ultimately led to question their own values.The last production mounted before theatres were closed for the English Civil War, "A Jovial Crew"'s exploration of class, commonwealth, kinship and kingship shows an intense engagement with contemporary politics. This edition, with dedicated sections on music and language in the play, argues that "A Jovial Crew" also offers a nostalgic farewell to English theatre. It explores Brome's attitude to performance and print, and follows "A Jovial Crew" from its first, Caroline staging, to its later manifestations as a Restoration comedy, an eighteenth-century opera, and a twentieth-century proto-Marxist tragicomedy.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
