Thomas Middleton’s A Mad World, My Masters was first performed in 1605 by the Children of Paul’s, a company of actors in London. A humorous portrayal of the city’s classic social types, the play reflects on appearances, disguises, and theatre, in light-hearted, joyful language.

Review - French La comedieA Mad World, my Mastersfut creee en 1605 au theatre des Enfants de Saint-Paul a Londres. Deployant les stratagemes d'une courtisane experte et d'un petit-fils prodigue qui cherche a s'approprier l'argent de son grand-pere, elle met en scene avec humour et cynisme des types classiques du bestiaire de la vie sociale londonienne : du jeune gentilhomme campagnard et fortune venu se faire plumer a Londres au mari adonne a ses soupcons, du nouveau riche victime de sa naivete au libertin repenti et meme au succube demoniaque qui le hante. Melant les intrigues, Thomas Middleton y presente une reflexion sur les apparences, le deguisement, le theatre, au moyen d'une langue jubilatoire qui foisonne de jeux de mots et de sous-entendus.
