A Jovial Crew, or the Merry Beggars, is a comedy about four noble
lovers who join the beggar community for a pastoral life of dance
and song. Or is it? Whilst maintaining its unremitting good humour,
A Jovial Crew shows that the literary depiction of beggar life, and
real beggar life, are profoundly different. Daily aspects of life
in the beggar world - poverty, dirt, licentiousness - come as a
surprise to the well-born, who are ultimately led to question their
own values. The last production mounted before theatres were closed
for the English Civil War, A Jovial Crew's exploration of class,
commonwealth, kinship and kingship shows an intense engagement with
contemporary politics. This edition, with dedicated sections on
music and language in the play, argues that A Jovial Crew also
offers a nostalgic farewell to English theatre. It explores Brome's
attitude to performance and print, and follows A Jovial Crew from
its first, Caroline staging, to its later manifestations as a
Restoration comedy, an eighteenth-century opera, and a
twentieth-century proto-Marxist tragicomedy.
