1605 and Ben Jonson is skint.
But he's got a play that could make him a mint.
A Scottish King on London's throne,
Has made English Lords grumble, grimace and groan,
Resentment, more so than ever before, will...
Provide markets for mockery, and patrons galore.
But it's risky, and the stakes are high.
Sedition still carries the death penalty.
If it goes pear-shaped who'll come to his aid?
His lordly connections or the lowly handmaids,
That people his plays and make him his living,
Will they persuade the King to be more forgiving?
And will the King learn to forgive and forget,
And make his public enemy number one,
Our Nation's first Laureate?
In this heart warming piece, L. A. Coltrane drops our first ever Poet Laureate, into his greatest play, to rescue him from his gravest mistake, to solve, once and for all, the longest standing mystery surrounding Benjamin Jonson.
