Description

Monsieur Silly wants to woo Urina and enlists the help of the witty but penniless student Musophilus. But Musophilus wants Urina for himself. Find out if a little love poetry, a Cupid impersonator, and a curious cure for blindness are enough to get the girl…

The Society’s edition, prepared by Elizabeth Baldwin, is based on the unique MS in Chester Record Office, a scribal transcript made in the late 1620s and probably once the property of the Crewe family. The play itself is an academic comedy in the mode of Ben Jonson.
