I need to start re-pursuing my dream of directing Bartholomew Fair
#it needs to be cut by about two thirds#so I want to keep all the characters I like but some minor ones can go#as can some bad jokes and some unnecessary songs#I think I speak for me personally when I say I don't want to hear Cokes sing a song#or it could be one verse instead of like 8#also I would cut Act 1 as much as possible to get us to the fair faster#like we've got to meet the Littlewits and Winwife and Quarlous and Wasp and Cokes and Dame Purecraft and Busy#but other than the bare establishing characteristics let's keep it minimal#ask me what accents I would have each character do#I almost wrote my Master's thesis about this play because I also did linguistics in undergrad#and this play is a treasure trove for historical linguistics#it's all about how different types of people talk and explicitly aims to replicate how real people talk (unlike Marlowe or Shakespeare)#it's one of his prose comedies
