The Masks of Aphra Behn
One of several 2022–23 dates for a show that previously toured in 2016–17 (qv).
“Masquerade gives one the freedom to do what one wishes in life.”
Aphra Behn – spy, writer and female libertine. It’s 1677 and an audience getting ready to watch her famous comedy, The Rover, are in for a surprise. The show has been cancelled and, in its place, Aphra recounts the amazing tale of her spying missions for King Charles II during the Dutch Wars, and her journey to becoming the first professional female writer.
Complete with excerpts from Behn’s letters, poetry and plays, this vivid, funny and thought-provoking one-woman show brings one of theatre’s most brilliant raconteurs back to life.
