Winchester audiences will shortly have a rare opportunity to see a revival of Ben Jonson s comic masterpiece Bartholomew Fair, a bustling, boisterous and bawdy comedy. Performances run from July 16-21 2001. The play features a whole host of colourful characters who scheme and swindle their way through this Restoration comedy. In her pig-roasting booth, Ursula holds court to pimps, cutpurses, con artists and shady traders Adapted and directed by Graham Cranmer, Bartholomew Fair was first performed in 1614 and was popular after the Restoration but then not seen again on stage until 1920. If you like to see the machinations of mankind cleverly crafted into one of Jonson s most colourful comedies, you really shouldn t miss it.
