The Thrie Estaitis was first performed in the mid-sixteenth century
to an audience of royalty and commoners alike. With its high style
and penetrating political satire, it pressed for reform in Church
and State and even in kingship itself with a hilarious masque of
vice and corruption in high places. Sir David Lindsay's great play
is a milestone in world drama. After almost 400 years it was
revived by Tyrone Guthrie in a famous production for the Edinburgh
Festival of 1948. Ever since then this masterpiece has been
recognized as a key text in the resurgance of political theatre in
modern Scotland and it appears as irreverent today as it was in
Lindsay's troubled times. This new editon has been fully edited and
annotated by Professor Roderick Lyall.
