a chaste maid in cheapside
A Chaste Maid in Cheapside explores how one instance of true love can turn a community upside down.
Syphilitic knights, virile charlatans, and impotent aristocrats make this one of the most popular comedies of the Renaissance stage.
This play was staged in repertory along with The Revenger’s Tragedy in February 2011 at the Bus Stop Theatre.
“The atmosphere at the Bus Stop Theatre just hums
with energy and youthful high spirits…”
-The Coast
