Excerpt from Stratford Festival 12/08: Tom McCamus and Jonathan Goad (Thug in "Under the Cloak of War") (Pictures at Emsworth)

Bartholomew Fair: Tom Patterson Theatre

Anything can happen (and usually does) at Bartholomew Fair, where fraudsters and pickpockets thrive and Ursula the pig-woman trades in more than one kind of flesh. Neither respectability nor Puritan zeal are proof against its snares – and no one who partakes in this licentious revel will ever be quite the same again.

Jonson’s no-holds-barred satire of big-city life depicts the London in which he and Shakespeare lived seething with scurrilous and hilarious energy.
