304: !Spoilers! The World and the Child (Part 3)

Beyond Shakespeare

We continue our Spoilers for The World and the Child, or Mundus et Infans by the Unknown. Dating around 1500, printed in 1522, it's the smallest cast show on the block - potentially stageable with two (we used five) actors. As a pre-plague bonus recording, we are locked into the takes we made four years ago - but it's come out quite well.
This !Spoilers! episode unlocks the third movement of the play (I call them movements, because they're not quite perfectly delineated as scenes - plus I like to sound arty) which includes some of the most dynamic cross-talk of the play - but also, the hardest to understand.
With Robert Crighton as Manhood, Hugh Weller-Poley as Folly, and Rob Myson as Conscience.
