How far will women go to follow their hearts’ desire? It’s Carnival time in the Italian port town and two sisters from Spain hit the streets, one to reunite with her true love and the other looking for a man (any man) to evade the nunnery. Enter a band of roving English cavaliers and let the games begin, in this raucous and romantic Restoration comedy. From the first professional female playwright comes a play that was a hit in 1677 for telling it like it was (and is?) with women, men, and marriage, while asking timeless questions of sexual politics, rendered ever more relevant in this brand-new adaptation.
