Scene from Vanbrugh satire on courtiers and grievances
A citizen-favoring scene from Vanbrugh's revival mocks courtly pride as a countryman declares his plan to hang ten thousand courtiers, naming ministers and officers while exposing common grievances and the folly of political self interest in a comic clash between Efop the courtier and Gent the countryman. The dialogue weaves humor with sharp critique of state affairs and the corruption of ambition.
