"Shows and Nightly Revels"
A Course on the Stuart Masque with Jane Gingell
The Stuart Court Masque was a unique spectacle. Warriors and witches, heroes and princesses, nymphs and idols sang and danced their way through the Stuart masques, in the company of satyrs, madmen, bears and baboons, while the elite group of noble masquers prepared to show their skills in the most sophisticated dances that their masters could devise.
