		By the time Bartholomew Fair was staged in 1614, Ben Jonson understood from more first-hand experience than most of his fellow playwrights the dangers of stage censorship.
		The suggestion that Bartholomew Fair is a play about the need for religious tolerance gives a rather new meaning to Jonson's choice of setting, for the fair celebrated on St. Bartholomew's Day is a particularly appropriate date and place for Catholics, Anglicans, and Puritans to receive a lesson on the need for understanding and charity.
		As the setting for bringing together his three opposing religious groups, it serves to remind his audience of the sad history of persecution and intolerance that each has practiced, and, what is even more to the point, it suggests the absurdity and futility of their past behavior.

		Bartholomew Fair, this paper argues, cannot be removed form its place in the context of 1614 England, a time fraught with concerns about religious, royal, and economic authority; nor, we will eventually discover, does it indicate an “antitheatrical” Jonson.
		Through the actions of a trio of impotent authority figures at the titular fair Jonson demonstrates to both his royal and commercial audiences the dangers of a fixed, self-focused judgment, promoting instead a communal, historically specific understanding.
		As Jonson focused on his artistic image and his individual motivations as a poet and playwright he stopped briefly along the way with Bartholomew Fair to push his audience members toward self-evaluation and active awareness.
