Thursday, March 21, 2024
Poculi Ludique Societas presents Lusty Juventus: A Tudor Moral Interlude by Robert Wever (fl. 1550).
Lusty Juventus is a short mid-16th century Moral Interlude of the “Prodigal Son” type, telling the story of a young man tempted by the joys of the flesh. It was written during the brief reign of Henry VIII’s son Edward VI for a small troupe of travelling players, as the title page states “Four may play it easily.”
PLS Artistic Director Linda Phillips has created a new modern-spelling script for this production.
