Epicene (Prologue 2) - What's Past Is Prologue
A performance of the second prologue (first prologue already out!) 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.
Prologue performed by Sarah Golding, produced by Robert Crighton.
