On 5 October we gathered in St Peter’s Anglican Church in Canterbury to read Aphra Behn’s 1673 play The Dutch Lover, under the direction of Stewart Ross. It’s a long play with a massive cast, and attempting to read it with 13 people soon exposed how complicated and farcical it is. Prepare for a riot […]
The popular series of readings of plays by Canterbury playwrights continues with Behn’s delightfully frank political and social satire.
