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.

Moll is a complex and compelling character who challenges traditional gender roles and inspires those around her to question the status quo.
