OR, by Liz Duffy Adams at Burning Coal Theatre Company

Choices abound for spy-turned-playwright Aphra Behn in a door-slamming, thought-provoking romp through the 1660’s

Aphra Behn, former British spy, will have fame and glory as England’s first female playwright if she can just finish her play by sunrise. But between her handsome patron King Charles II, free-spirited actress Nell Gwynne, and double agent William Scot - who may or may not be trying to murder the king - how can she possibly concentrate? Free love, politics and historical fiction abound in this door-slamming Restoration farce, that tells the true(ish) story of a night in the life of the literal first lady of the stage.

CONTENT ADVISORY: contains strong language, sexual content and adult situations.

OR, is presented as part of the Burning Coal Theatre Second Stage series, in repertory with two other Triangle-area productions June 7-26th. Come support local theater and Burning Coal’s mission to promote new works and collaborate with up-and-coming artists.
