Episode: Epicene (Prologue 1)
Description: Epicene by Ben Jonson (Prologue 1) - What's Past Is Prologue
A performance of the first prologue (we have two!) to Epicene or The Silent Woman (c.1609) by Ben Jonson - recorded to frustrate everyone who wants to hear a full production, and as a sitting accusation to the world for not (necessarily) supplying one. NB: Yes, it should be spelled with an OE, but it's annoying to put online, so we went simple.
