Beyond Shakespeare

The Poetaster by Ben Jonson (Prologue) - What's Past Is Prologue A performance of the pre-show material to The Poetaster by Ben Jonson. It's a fun start which is very much caught up in attacking Jonson's rivals. We;'re only slightly joking when we suggest you watch this video at the same time as the introduction to the podcast - https://youtu.be/3tmd-ClpJxA - because there is a relationship between what this prologue is trying to do, and the public feuds that we see in modern media. And they both have snakes.
