  In the late sixteenth century, English playwright Ben Jonson revitalized an ancient style of comedic theater known as comedy of humours. Drawing on the theory that each person has a particular trait - or humour - that defines their personality and perspective, Every Man in His Humour explores what happens when people with diametrically opposed humours are forced to interact with each other.
