SPT proudly presents The Roaring Girl

Couldn't get enough Shakespeare last weekend? Want to witness a tale of steampunk, cutpurses, true love, and deceit? You won't want to miss SPT's second and final performance of the fall semester:

                     **THE ROARING GIRL**
                         Written by Thomas Middleton & Thomas Dekker
                                    Directed by Christina Pellegrino '18

Set during a steampunk Victorian England, The Roaring Girl follows the various shenanigans of characters as they try to make their dreams come true with Moll Cutpurse, a gender non-conforming Robin Hood-type, at the center of it all. Sebastian Wengrave enlists the help of Moll, so that he can marry his fiancé Mary Fitzallard, and convince his father that Mary is the best person Sebastian could marry. Sebastian’s father, Sir Alexander, distressed that his son is 'in love' with a person who does not follow traditional values enlists the help of Trapdoor, a thief, to spy on Moll. Goshawk and Laxton, two gallants, try to seduce Mrs. Gallipot and Mrs. Openwork, merchants’ wives, to no avail. Come for the steampunk; stay for the shenanigans.
