Every Man Out of His Humour

About this book

Every Man Out of His Humour followed Jonson's play Every Man In His Humour. "This play as a fabric of plot is a very slight affair; but as a satirical picture of the manners of the time, proceeding by means of vivid caricature, couched in witty and brilliant dialogue and sustained by that righteous indignation which must lie at the heart of all true satire — as a realisation, in short, of the classical ideal of comedy — there had been nothing like Jonson's comedy since the days of Aristophanes.... What Jonson really did, was to raise the dramatic lampoon to an art, and make out of a casual burlesque and bit of mimicry a dramatic satire of literary pretensions and permanency." - Summary by ToddHW and Introduction Cast list: Asper: Nemo Macilente: Eva Davis Puntarvolo: Josh Kibbey Carlo Buffone: Tomas Peter Fastidious Brisk: Hamlet Deliro: ToddHW Fallace: Sonia Saviolina: Foon Sordido: Chris Pyle Fungso: Aaron White Sogliardo: Elijah Cavalier Shift: Devorah Allen Notary: Zames Curran Clove: Nemo Orange: TJ Burns Cordatus: Leanne Yau Mitis: alanmapstone Prologue: ToddHW Hind: Stefan Von Blon Cinedo: Larry Wilson Gentlewoman: Foon Lady Puntarvolo: Linda Olsen Fitak Fido: Luke Castle Tailor: Beth Thomas First Rustic: Sandra Schmit Second Rustic: Lex Hankins Third Rustic: Elsie Selwyn Fourth Rustic: April6090 Fifth Rustic: Son of the Exiles Musician: Foon Haberdasher: Nemo Groom: Lex Hankins George: Larry Wilson Constable: Nemo Drawer: Availle Servant: Elijah Stage Directions: Campbell Schelp Edited by: ToddHW
