I was at the Dress Rehearsal yesterday…of A SATIRE OF THE THREE ESTATES & THE INTERLUDE
This is a Magnificent Experience to witness the thoughts of a 16th Century playwright which ring true today. The words and meaning of this play are given to the audience by way of fondness and kindness. Tho’ we sit in rapture for near on 5 hours , the performers in their strength of professionalisim gather us into the play. Go and see this , or see the recording which will come later…I am honoured to now, know where the root of ” The Sense of Worth” of all, first was expressed in our Culture .
