Every Man In His Humour

This was a Royal Shakespeare Company revival of Ben Jonson’s rarely performed comedy, staged at the newly opened Swan Theatre in Stratford-upon-Avon, opening on 15 May 1986.  The production played in repertoire for the rest of the year and transferred to the Mermaid Theatre in London, opening on 13 April 1987 and playing in repertoire until 1st September.  Every Man in His Humour played for a total of 134 performances.

The text was a conflation by the director of Jonson’s two very different versions of 1598 and 1616 and was published as a Methuen Paperback in partnership with the RSC. For a detailed description of this adaptation, please refer to the introduction in the published text.
