Stan’s Cafe presents

The Anatomy of Melancholy

Written four hundred years ago by librarian and vicar Robert
Burton, The Anatomy of Melancholy has been described as ‘the
greatest book ever written’.

Its 1500 pages are full of cutting-edge science, maids vomiting
pebbles, priests defecating in ditches, lovers unrequited, friends
who can’t be parted, plus enormous expansive long lists of every
food, herb, location, activity or occupation that can bring on or cure melancholy in any one of its many forms.

In their compelling stage adaptation, Stan’s Cafe transform this
extraordinary book into a grand cure for melancholy that reveals
how closely 17th-century approaches to life and depression resemble
our own.
