Summary: "Gammer Gurton's Needle" by John S. Farmer is a comedic play written in the mid-16th century. The story centers around Gammer Gurton, an old woman who misplaces her treasured needle, sparking chaos in her village as the news spreads. The humor is rooted in farcical misunderstandings and the antics of a cast of engaging characters, including Hodge, her servant, and Diccon, the mischievous local troublemaker.
