Every Man in His Humour

In the late sixteenth century, English playwright Ben Jonson revitalized an ancient style of comedic theater known as "e;comedy of humours."e; Drawing on the theory that each person has a particular trait -- or "e;humour"e; -- that defines their personality and perspective, Every Man in His Humour explores what happens when people with diametrically opposed humours are forced to interact with each other.
