The Three Hunchbacks

The Court Jester - A podcast by Kleio Pethainou - Sundays

Categories:

When a miserly hunchback marries far above his station, his obsession with control meets its match in his wife's quick wits and a sturdy bed with three drawers. In Les iii boçus, bodies pile up, a porter loses his mind, and a husband learns (posthumously) that money can’t buy loyalty. One of the fabliaux’s tightest murder farces, this is slapstick with a corpse count.📜 Text: Translation by Nathaniel E.
