The play begins with three pages disputing over the black cloak usually worn by the actor who delivers the prologue. They draw lots for the cloak, and one of the losers, Anaides, starts telling the audience what happens in the play to come; the others try to suppress him, interrupting him and putting their hands over his mouth. Soon they are fighting over the cloak and criticizing the author and the spectators as well. or Three child actors are shown fighting over the speaking of the prologue, and draw straws, whosoever gets the shortest, he is to say the prologue. When the shortest of the boys gets to speak the prologue, the other two try to stop his mouth and in the gaps of his sentences he struggles with them to complete the same.

Cynthia's Revels is a satire written by Ben Jonson. The play was one element in the Poetomachia or War of the Theatres between Jonson and rival playwrights John Marston and Thomas Dekker. to suggest this childlike fight of the dramatists Ben Jonson is showing the suppression of the child trying to speak the prologue. it is a means through which the dramatist is mocking the fellow rival dramatists.
