Looking Glass is a radical cut of Robert Greene and Thomas Lodge’s A Looking Glass for London and England, which was published in London in 1594. The play follows the biblical tale of Jonah focusing on the people of Nineveh. There are three distinct, hedonistic plots that weave together by Jonas’ arrival in Nineveh. A king living like a god that might marry his sister or her lover, a clown too invested in the philosophy of ale, and two men trying to dismantle capitalism after one loses the family cow. This is the first production since the theatres closed in 1642, and this production is very queer, very debaucherous, and uses the line between sex and religion as a jump rope.
