Introduction
London, 1696.
St James' Park bustles with the fine, and the not-so-fine, folk of London town on a warm Saturday morning. Charlotte and Juliana scavenge for boys'clothes, tring to avoid the attention of Charlotte's older brother Charles and his good friend Sir Roger. Cousin Bella arrives in London, with little idea of the adventures that lie ahead, and Lovewell finds his poetry is particularly bad today. Meanwhile, tavern owner Freeman and his wife Urania prepare for the weekend, ably helped by their maid, Doll. Wouldbe continues his imprudent wooing of Urania, whilst dodging his wife, Dowdy and mother-in-law, Bedlam. And of course, our musicians find ways to profit from all the plotting.
