by SUSANNA CENTLIVRE
Two young women plot to escape their controlling guardians. But will the nosy Marplot – the “busy body” – ruin the plan?
A clever and hilarious exploration of how women might find freedom of choice in an age of the marriage contract, Susanna Centlivre‘s comedy (first performed in 1709) was hugely popular on the 18th-century stage – not least, for its brilliant cast of characters.
In this script-in-hand performance, Oxford’s Creation Theatre partners with the Orange Tree Theatre to revive this play for the 21st century.
Co-produced by the Cultural Programme, University of Oxford.
In partnership with Creation Theatre.
