About this listen

Cynthias Revels, a captivating comical satire first performed in 1600, offers an intricate tapestry of wit and humor that surpasses its predecessor, Every Man Out of His Humour. This play delves deep into personal satire, showcasing a plethora of remarkable caricatures and sharp, insightful dialogue. While the central theme of a fountain of self-love may not be fully realized, the characters occasionally drift into abstraction and allegory, creating a unique theatrical experience. Join us as we explore this fascinating work! - Summary by Prof. Felix E. Schelling
