I was absolutely not in the mood to read a restoration play when it was not needed for class

The Rover, for my Plays, Players, Playgoers: London, 1600-1700.

There's a lot to love about Aphra Behn. This ranks as my second favorite play for my PPP class, after of course, The Country Wife. I love the blend of tragedy and comedy, and here exist the most fleshed out, realistic women in Restoration Drama.

My four stars are just for The Rover. Which was quite good and full of amusing quotations. But I skimmed some action-y bits and generally fail at reading plays. They're meant to be *performed* dude!
