As Bitter Fruit, a modern masque by composer John Woolrich and writerToby Wilsher prepares for its premiere in Birmingham, Richard Coles explores the history of the masque and its modern revival. Can the art of the masque, which in the 16th century satirised kings and bankrupted nobles, move a modern audience? Plus Scottish novelist Alisdair
Gray on his intriguing history of language and thought The Book of Prefaces.
