Item details
From the byre adjoining the living room of a farmhouse two rascally strolling players, masquerading as "Friars'' watch a merry meeting between the farmer's wife, and merry Friar John, until the unexpected return of the husband throws all into confusion and uproar. How the two rogues turn this situation to their advantage by their quick wits, and how retribution comes upon them and Friar John, and Dame Alysoun pays the penalty for her prank, provide comic situations. The play provides good scope for character acting and considerable opportunity for interesting costume, setting and lighting.
