Cupid's Whirligig by Edward Sharpham (1576 - 1608)

Por: LibriVox
Cupid's Whirligig is a city comedy: a play in colloquial language dealing with the everyday life of London's citizens. A knight, Sir Timothy Troublesome, suspects his wife of cheating on him and, to prove that any children she bears are not his own, decides to 'geld' himself. Meanwhile, the young Lord Nonsuch dreams of bedding the knight's wife, and in disguise enters the Troublesomes' employ as a servant. Cupid descends from the heavens to cast a love spell on the citizens of London and, by the last act, one character loves another, who loves another, and so on until the last loves the first: a "Cupid's whirligig". The knight's faithful servant, Wages, hatches a plot to match each man with his proper wife. - Summary by Rob BoardCastNarrator: Chuck WilliamsonCupid: Beth ThomasOld Lord Nonsuch: alanmapstoneAlderman Venter: ToddHWSir Timothy Troublesome: Jason in PanamaLady Troublesome: SoniaMaster Correction: Nigel FisherMistress Correction: AvaillePeg, the Lady Troublesome's Kinswoman: KhandNan, Old Venter's Daughter: Leanne YauNucome, a Welsh Courtier: Phil BirssA Boy, Nucome's Page: ScarlettGFour Scholars: StoofyYoung Lord Nonsuch: Tomas PeterMaster Exhibition, the Inns-a-Court Man: ToddHWWages, the Knight's Servingman: Rob MarlandServingman: Owen CookEdited by: Rob Marland
