Get out: Black Cat's 18th Anniversary

Play: 'Or' The title of Liz Duffy Adams' play is a nod to the habits of Restoration playwrights. Wordy fellows, 17th century playwrights often gave their plays two names. There was "The Man of Mode; or, Sir Fopling Flutter" by George Etherege; "The Rump; or, The Mirror of the Late Times" by John Tatham; and "All for Love; or, the World Well Lost" by John Dryden, to name but a few. Dual titles is not the only thing Restoration dramas had in common, however. Like most literary forms of the day, it was also dominated by men. Aphra Behn would change all that with "The Rover; or, The Banish'd Cavaliers." Having previously been a spy and a resident of debtor's prison, Behn was quite familiar with the concept of duality (the topic of Adams' play) by the time she became one of Britain's most successful professional female writers.
