Bartholomew Fair, NJ

Originally written by Ben Johnson in 1641, Bartholomew Fair took place at one of London’s most popular summer fairs and brought together the lower masses and upper classes in a twisting, comedic knot of deceit, disguise, marriage licenses and a puppet show.
Almost 375 years later, this adaptation of Mr. Johnson’s great comedy is presented in modern verse in an under 70-minute show. Bartholomew Fair, NJ resets the original story from London to north New Jersey during the 1980s and features five performers taking on over 20 characters.
