Sir Giles Goosecap. 1606

This play, written by George Chapman, is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the courtly life and politics of the early seventeenth century in England. The titular character, Sir Giles Goosecap, is a foppish courtier whose ridiculous antics are meant to be both humorous and critical of the flattery and posturing that characterized the court of King James I. With its witty dialog and colorful characters, Sir Giles Goosecap 1606 is a fascinating play that sheds light on the culture and politics of the early modern period.
