About this listen

 Every Man Out of His Humour followed Jonson's play Every Man In His Humour. "This play as a fabric of plot is a very slight affair; but as a satirical picture of the manners of the time, proceeding by means of vivid caricature, couched in witty and brilliant dialogue and sustained by that righteous indignation which must lie at the heart of all true satire — as a realisation, in short, of the classical ideal of comedy — there had been nothing like Jonson's comedy since the days of Aristophanes.... What Jonson really did, was to raise the dramatic lampoon to an art, and make out of a casual burlesque and bit of mimicry a dramatic satire of literary pretensions and permanency." - Summary by ToddHW and IntroductionCast list:Asper: NemoMacilente: Eva DavisPuntarvolo: Josh KibbeyCarlo Buffone: Tomas PeterFastidious Brisk: HamletDeliro: ToddHWFallace: SoniaSaviolina: FoonSordido: Chris PyleFungso: Aaron WhiteSogliardo: ElijahCavalier Shift: Devorah AllenNotary: Zames CurranClove: NemoOrange: TJ BurnsCordatus: Leanne YauMitis: alanmapstonePrologue: ToddHWHind: Stefan Von BlonCinedo: Larry WilsonGentlewoman: FoonLady Puntarvolo: Linda Olsen FitakFido: Luke CastleTailor: Beth ThomasFirst Rustic: Sandra SchmitSecond Rustic: Lex HankinsThird Rustic: Elsie SelwynFourth Rustic: April6090Fifth Rustic: Son of the ExilesMusician: FoonHaberdasher: NemoGroom: Lex HankinsGeorge: Larry WilsonConstable: NemoDrawer: AvailleServant: ElijahStage Directions: Campbell SchelpEdited by: ToddHWCopyright Michela Bertazzo Art
