A dashingly impecunious bachelor, Dick Follywit, in need of quick cash and a good time has to live on his wits so turns con-man to fool his rich uncle. He variously becomes a Lord, a high-class call girl and a poor actor. Meanwhile, Truly Kidman, a high-class call girl--poor but quick-witted--needs to fool and then marry a rich young man. Sean Foley and Phil Porter's edited version of Middleton's play is faithful to the original text but adapts it to fit the seedy world of 1950s Soho, updating character names and including songs of the time to enhance the biting satire of lust and deception in the life of Bohemian London.Oberon modern plays.City and town lifeDramaCity and town lifefast(OCoLC)fst00862081Drama & Performance StudiesPlays, playscriptsbicSoho (London, England)DramaEnglandLondonSohofastDrama.fastDrama.lcgftCity and town lifeCity and town life.Drama & Performance Studies.Plays, playscripts.822.308Foley Sean1964-1615243Middleton Thomas-1627.132366Porter Phil1977-UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910823741603321A mad world my masters3945358UNINA
