Three Farces from Three Lands

Banish the February blahs and get in a pre-Lenten carnival mood with these short 16th century farces from Germany, Flanders, and England, including two old PLS favourites. All three share a typical comedic view of marriage among the peasantry. There will be slapstick fights, puppetry, and pie!
