"The Rover"

The Rover

Aphra Behn

Shotgun Players

Shotgun Players boldly brings a pioneering playwright’s play of yesteryear to a 21^st Century audience where we discover her writing about our own current issues of sexual assaults against college coeds, difficulties of women to be given deserved equality in the workplace, and gender-based stereotypes that still stubbornly linger on every corner of society.   The Rover is much less an amusing antique than a reminder that there is still much work to be done.
