Henry Lawes worked as household musician for John Egerton, the Earl of Bridgewater, where he taught the family music and, famously, wrote the songs and recruited John Milton for Comus – A Maske presented at Ludlow Castle which featured a young Alice Egerton as ‘The Lady’. After losing his court position in the Civil War, Henry Lawes turned his hand to publishing his songs and to public concert production in Oxford. Our entertainment imagines Henry delivering his first printed songbook to its dedicatees, the Egerton sisters, now great ladies and patrons in their own right.
