Viewing Event Record: The Children of Paul's perform old-fashioned plays

Abstract

Sir Edward Fortune has just been to see the the Children of Paul's; Brabant Senior observes that their plays are antiquated 'And do not suit the humorous age's backs / With clothes in fashion.' Berry (p 314) notes that 'the tenor of the passage suggests the boys had only recently begun performing again.'
