The play begins with Bolloxinion, King of Sodom, authorising same-sex sodomy as an acceptable sexual practice within the realm. Sodom merits attention not just as an early piece of scabrous literature, but also as a disguised satire on the court of Charles II and especially of his apparent willingness to tolerate Catholicism in England at a time when that religion was officially proscribed. The play was publicly performed in 1986 for six weekends at Broom Street Theater in Madison, Wisconsin.[4] Sodom was revived at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 2011 by the Movement Theatre Company, in what is described as a "reconstructed" version.	./cache/en-wikipedia-org-257.html	./txt/en-wikipedia-org-257.txt
