Vermont Stage Presents “Or,”

Or, written by Liz Duffy Adams directed by Sarah Carleton Against a background of a long drawn-out war and a counter-culture of free love, cross-dressing, and pastoral lyricism, the 1660s look a lot like the 1960s in this neo-Restoration comedy about the life of Aphra Behn, poet, spy, and first professional female playwright. Before she can complete her latest masterpiece, our daring heroine must solve a pushy producer problem, untangle a saucy love triangle, and stop an attempted assassination of the King. A raucous comedy about sex, love, and gender roles, Or, by Liz Duffy Adams spins the life of Restoration playwright Aphra Behn into a delightfully dizzying romp, worthy of one of Behn’s very own farces.
