Masqued revels: Cupid and Death a promising start for Sydney’s newest theatrical company

First performed in 1653 with music by Christopher Gibbons, and then revived in 1659 with additional music by Matthew Locke, the masque Cupid and Death makes for curious viewing today. In the first production by the new Pearl and Dagger Company of Sydney, the positives outweighed some amateurish aspects.
