About this episode
The four men, still in their Muscovite disguises, say goodbye to the Ladies, who laugh at their abysmal performances. Soon, the men return undisguised only to be berated by the women for their antics. Berowne blames Boyet for spoiling their fun when Costard arrives to invite them to their play, “The Nine Worthies”. The King resists but the Princess persuades him to see the show. That evening, the Royals attend the play at Howard University’s Ira Aldridge Theater and are delighted by the accidental comedy staged by Holofernes, Don Armado, Moth, Costard and the rest of the players.
