A Masque of Mr. Punch

By Robertson Davies

The enthusiasm of Robertson Davies for the spirit of Mr Punch has taken witty form in this entertainment which Dr Davies wrote for the Preparatory School boys of Upper Canada College, Toronto. The incidents associated with the traditional Punch Show are all here, but they are witnessed and
criticized by uncomprehending spokesmen for the modern theatre - newspaper critics, television producers, one playwright representing the school of American Southern Decadence and a member of the Board of Directors of the Stratford Festival. Mr Punch is not at all confounded by their cherished
believes, even when each spokesman tries to bring him up to date in his own way. But Mr Punch will not be changed, and he emerges triumphant at the end, having been told of a whole new world to conquer.
