Dive into the vibrant world of The Roaring Girl, a thrilling Jacobean comedy co-written by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker, first published in 1611. This entertaining play tells the captivating story of Mary Frith, famously known as Moll Cutpurse, a woman who defied societal norms and earned a reputation as a fierce virago in early 17th-century London. The term roaring girl is a playful twist on roaring boy, which referred to young men who led wild, unruly lives. As Moll navigates her adventures in cross-dressing, the play intertwines her escapades with the romantic pursuits of three merchants wives and the secret love affair between Sebastian Wengrave and Mary Fitzallard. Join us for a delightful journey filled with humor, romance, and social commentary! (Summary by Elizabeth Klett and Wikipedia)
