- Summary:
- Disgruntles couples seek out a judge and beg him to divorce them; a pimp mourns his dear departed prostitute; a wily student fools a gullible husband with tales of magic; a bored wife cuckolds her jealous spouse right under his nose, and two hoaxers fool a group of villagers with an invisible puppet show. These Interludes, designed to be played between the acts of full-length plays, are keyhole glimpses of a world far removed from courtly elegance or military heroism.
