AUTHOR
SUMMARY
A waspish city comedy, critiquing Caroline London, "The City Madam" reworks Shakespeare's "Measure for Measure" as a city comedy to attack the vices of hypocrisy, greed, self-indulgence and social pretension that destroy communality. As the citizen Sir John Frugal and his daughters' spurned suitors return disguised as Amerindians, Massinger contrasts their feigned godlessness with the failure of Christian charity in 1630s London. The play was revived for a staged reading at Shakespeare's Globe in June 1995.Massinger, Philip is the author of 'City Madam', published 2005 under ISBN 9780878301942 and ISBN 0878301941.
