The Broken Jug

Work:: The Broken Jug (S2667)

In this fast-moving courtroom battle of wits, the smirched innocence of the nubile Eve is of less concern to her mother than the heirloom jug that had been accidentally broken in the amorous encounter. The culprit must pay - but first his identity must be found out. The innocent and the guilty make a shambles of the Dutch court, of peers and peasants, of truth and consequences, in a comedy that is like a Breughel come to life.
