Or, A Post-Modern Restoration Comedy November 13, 2009

Aphra Behn wants to get out of the spy trade and into show biz. But first she need to finish her play without interruptions from her love life, which includes celebrity Nell Gwynne, King Charles II, and double-agent William Scott, among others. While war rages and Aphra and her friends celebrate free love, cross-dressing and pastoral lyricism, the 1660s start to look a lot like the 1960s. Verse or prose, now or then, love or death... and a lot of kissing.
