Or, takes place (mostly) during one night in the life of Aphra Behn, the poet, spy, and soon-to-be first professional female playwright. Her play has a shot at a production at one of only two London companies, if she can only finish it by morning and resist the interruptions of three very intriguing love interests. Against a background of a long drawn-out war and a counterculture of free love, cross-dressing, and pastoral lyricism, the 1660s look a lot like the 1960s in this neo-Restoration comedy by Liz Duffy Adams, the playwright the San Francisco Bay Guardian called “an artist of playful and highly literate imagination, radical instincts, and sardonic but generous humor."
This comedic staged reading will be followed by a talkback with the actors and director. Beer, wine, and hors d'oeuvres will be served.
