And Middleton once again in Your Five Gallants. This play is as close as you come to Jacobean sketch comedy with a thin plot to hold it all together. Most scenes the plot is forgot altogether so the audience can laugh at the gallants robbing, hitting, insulting, and betraying each other. Some scenes are quite funny and others I guess you had to be there for.
I think I am ready again for some tragedy.
Yes, those Jacobeans were much much better at bloody tragedy! But every now and then, I guess they had to let their hair down a bit...
