The Beggers Ape

By Richard Niccols

Book Overview

The Beggers Ape is a play written by Richard Niccols. The story revolves around a group of beggars who find an ape and decide to train him to beg for them. The ape, however, turns out to be very intelligent and starts to question the beggars' way of life. As the ape becomes more and more independent, the beggars start to fear that he will leave them and they will lose their source of income. The play is a commentary on society and the way people treat those who are less fortunate. It explores themes of power, control, and the human condition. The Beggers Ape is a thought-provoking and entertaining play that will leave readers questioning their own beliefs and values.In Summers pride did cast a cooling shade, Vnder whose leaues from Phoebus burning rayes Sweet birds sate singing their Melodious layes, There sate I downe vpon the grassy ground Amid'st those silent shades encompast round By leauy trees that Arbour wise did spread.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
