The work is a satirical response to the theatrical quarrels of the time, particularly aimed at Ben Jonson and his influences on the London stage. It features a cast of characters, including Horace, Crispinus, and Demetrius, who are embroiled in a literary battle that reflects the tensions of the contemporary theatrical scene. The opening of "Satiro-Mastix" sets the stage for a comedic exploration of the "war of the theatres." It begins with the musings of two gentlewomen preparing for a wedding, foreshadowing the playful yet sharp criticism of the theatrical rivalry that follows. The play introduces Sir Quintilian Shorthose, who is coordinating the wedding festivities, alongside various characters that represent both the noble and the comedic elements of society. As the characters aim to navigate their social interactions, the tone is filled with humor and reflects the intricate dynamics of love, reputation, and artistic expression amidst the backdrop of a wedding celebration.
