Great fun. Written by Chapman, Marston and Jonson in turn, but remarkably coherent. Some of the jokes and puns are genuinely funny, not bad going for over four centuries.

The ending's a little drawn-out, but that bit was Ben's writing, so arguably only to be expected. Well worth the time.

Read while suffering the Dread Covid as part of the REP online readathon of the repertoire of the Jacobean Children's Companies.
