"A performance of Aphra Behn's The rover. Her best known play is about masks, mistaken identity, disguises and treachery. All of this is in the name of love, or lust, as three English cavaliers go on the hunt for women during a Neapolitan masked carnival."
"A performance of Aphra Behn's The rover. The 17th century author used Naples during Carnival as an exotic setting to examine sexual politics, love, marriage and money in a male dominated society. This BBC/Open University presentation brought her play to a modern stage with minimal sets and costumes."@en
"During the seventeenth century, the theatre was predominately a male domain from which women were excluded, especially as playwrights. For Aphra Behn, the first woman playwright, to enter the fiercely competitive arena of the professional theatre was, therefore, a significant achievement. This video shows a complete performance of her stage triumph, 'The Rover', first performed in 1677. This contemporary production was achieved in collaboration with the Women's Playhouse Trust."
