Roaring Girl

Roaring Girl

by Thomas Middleton

The Roaring Girl is a lively and entertaining Jacobean comedy that follows the adventures of Moll Cutpurse, a notorious cross-dressing figure from 17th century London. The play combines elements of farce, romance, and social satire to create a portrait of a woman who defies social conventions and embraces her own identity. Moll is a complex and compelling character who challenges traditional gender roles and inspires those around her to question the status quo.
