It's time to play with the bits and pieces...

It's time for a rather chunky section of a damaged play. We have the end of this play, known as Good Order, or Old Christmas. Printed by William Rastell in 1533, it covers the conclusion of a play about how an excess of good cheer over Christmas can be a bad thing. Hint, hint. Yes, you. PUT THE MINCED PIE DOWN!
