The Roaring Girl (Mainstage)
Written by Thomas Middleton and Thomas Dekker
Directed by Danette Baker
Sebastian wants to marry Miss Mary, but daddy says, “No, she’s not worthy.” To overcome daddy’s stubborn ego Sebastian intrigues with the help of Moll, the Virago; If he can't have Mary, he’ll marry Mad Moll. Daddy’s appalled, and vows to cause Moll’s downfall. But Moll is honorable, clever and valiant--she'll change daddy’s mind, and make him more gallant.
Heroic, ridiculous and a little bit sexy, featuring cross-dressing street brawlers, sword fights and intrigues, the Roaring Girl is a Renaissance fictionalized dramatization of the life of Mary Frith, known as ‘Moll Cutpurse’, a woman who has risen above cultural and gender stereo types to embody a virile heroism.
