So entertaining! A thinly-veiled satire of Henry VIII that was supposedly performed in his Court while he was away trying to get his marriage with Catherine of Aragon annulled. Understanding the historical context of this vastly underrated play is to wield the key to its many pleasures.

and yet again another piece of classical literature that depict women as having nothing more to contribute to society other than beauty
