Abstract
In hungry, paranoid, brutal, repressed 1590s London you would have been able to go to the theatre and see a play interrupting its 'main' action - the contention between Lancaster and York for the English crown during the War of the Roses - with a nasty, brutish, and short interlude. The Jack Cade rising of 1450, on the London stage of the 1590s, begins with two workmen commenting on the rising.
