A review by beforeviolets
The Wonder of Women; Or, the Tragedie of Sophonisba, as It Hath Beene Sundry Times Acted at the Blacke Friers by John Marston

This play very much is discussed as an early modern play about witchcraft, but I’d argue this play has muuuuch more to say about virginity, about gendered perceptions of sex and sexual urges, about fame, about conquest, and about national pride. The witch character shows up for all of one scene.

Also I actually have no idea how I feel about the play itself. I feel like I need to reread it with the right expectations in mind.
