Bartholomew Fair
Ben Jonson’s carnivalesque comedy throws together pimps, puritans, and puppets, and the result is a madcap explosion of energy, wordplay, and misadventure. VPT’s fifth production ran in August of 2011, and starred an enormous cast of memorable characters.
“…captures the bawdy, joyful, cheeky and wild spirit of the days when theatres were centers of popular entertainment for the masses where frivolity and lasciviousness ran rampant.”
-Amanda Campbell, TWISI Theatre Blog
“I urge you to go to this play. There is much to delight and impress….Dan Bray and Vile Passeist Theatre will bring you to a little-visited repertoire of raw English theatre from a time uncomfortably close to us in anything-goes chaos, sardonic cynicism and bottom-feeder morality.”
