"Lurid tales [have] circulated among the godly
about the sex and violence, the swearing and blasphemy
to be seen in plays: 'such wanton gestures,
such bawdy speeches; such laughing and fleering;
such kissing and bussing; such clipping and culling;
such winking and casting of wanton eyes' . . . [It's] indecent
. . . representing immoral or irreligious conduct,
teaching by bad example." (Bate and Jackson, 25)
