This volume is a photographic facsimile from the copy of the play
by George Wapull in the Harry Ransom Centre.It was originally
printed in 1576 by Hugh Jackson, and is one of only five extant
copies. The introduction discusses the place of this play in
Jackson's output, including two other interludes printed by him
shortly afterwards. Besides compositorial practice and some
irregularities, it addresses the identity of the author, historical
detail about the surviving copies, and the editorial contribution
of John Payne Collier. The text is rich in stage directions and
aspects of performance are discussed including the doubling scheme
for four players and the active role of the Vice. The play was
written at a time when interludes designed for small acting troupes
were popular and exhibited remarkable theatrical expertise. The
intellectual context is considered, and in particular the place of
this play among the considerable number of surviving interludes
from London which focus upon wealth and its abuses and other
matters of economic importance at the time. -- .
