A Looking Glass for London and England

About the show

This Elizabethan morality play interweaves the biblical story of Jonah and Nineveh with the corrupt court of King Rasni, an unjust moneylender and his victims, and comic scenes of common vices. The prophet Hosea serves as an onstage chorus applying its lessons to contemporary England; Jonah’s warning finally moves Nineveh’s sinners to repent.
