Thomas Middleton's outrageous 'city comedy': a brilliantly plotted,
farcical satire of lies and lust, translated from Jacobean London
to the Soho of the 1950s. A dashingly impecunious bachelor, Dick
Follywit, in need of quick cash and a good time has to live on his
wits so turns con-man to fool his rich uncle. He variously becomes
a Lord, a high-class call girl and a poor actor. Meanwhile, Truly
Kidman, a high-class call girl - poor but quick-witted - needs to
fool and then marry a rich young man... Sean Foley and Phil
Porter's edited version of Middleton's play is faithful to the
original text but adapts it to fit the seedy world of 1950s Soho,
updating character names and including songs of the time to enhance
the biting satire of lust and deception in the life of Bohemian
London.
