- Synopsis:
- This tongue-in-cheek farce is set in an early seventeenth century Flemish town facing invasion by the Spanish army. Foreseeing carnage and rape, the mayor plays dead in the hope that the fearsome occupiers will respect the townspeople's mourning and bypass the town. Flowever, his rather more courageous and sophisticated wife takes control of the situation and organizes the townswomen to greet the invaders and preserve the peace with their womanly wiles.
