Thrie Estaitis, The

Synopsis: 'The Thrie Estaitis’ is an adaptation of David Lindsay’s 16th-century (Scottish) play about the conflict between common people and the three estates of Spirituality, Temporality and Merchant. Divine Correction, who is visiting the land of King Humanity, realises how corrupt the three estates are, especially Spirituality. In this land the poor get poorer while the rich feed off the poor. He sets about correcting this oppression and by the end of the play, Jane, the Common Weal, is given a place in Parliament so that her voice may be heard.
