JUPITER 'MARS will Entertain'
THE WAYFARER' by JOHN ODAMS
The scene of the play is down in a large cavern on the outskirts of Nottingham, and the time is nearly one hundred years ago - Goose Fair Time, 1830. The way to the outer world is by means of a door at the bottom of steps cut through the sandstone. A narrow passage through one side of the cavern leads to another chamber, which is used as a kitchen. Martha, a woman of about fifty, is alone in the cavern.
Coppernob and Grimshanks enter.
