Présentation de l'éditeur

The play is designed for rapid movement and no elaboration of scenery. Cloths readily raised and lowered, painted with a rude indication of the supposed scene, and light properties easily placed upon the stage and as easily removed, are presumed. SCENE I. The ploughman cloth hides the stage for a few moments. A strain of Folk song by unseen singers rises, falls and dies away. The cloth is lifted, disclosing the full depth of the stage. The scene is centred upon a weathered, wooden cross raised upon steps. Near the lowest step, a little to spectators left, stand the village stocks. Further to the left and down stage is a well, enclosed by a low wall. On the right a hanging sign, painted in brilliant colours and protruding from an unseen building marks the presence of an inn. A rough table, benches and stools under the sign complete the idea. The rest of the scene is space and open air, suggesting a broad, level valley: the middle distance cut off by a low wall, with indication of an orchard beyond. The crowing of a cock heralds the rising sun.
