Woman is a Weathercock

by Nathan Field

A Woman is a Weathercock is a satirical comedy by Nathan Field that follows the misadventures of three sisters as they navigate the complexities of love and marriage in Jacobean London. The play is full of witty dialogue, mistaken identities, and slapstick humor as the sisters try to find their perfect matches. Along the way, they encounter a cast of colorful characters, including a short-tempered soldier, a poetical buffoon, and a wealthy merchant. A Woman is a Weathercock is a classic example of Jacobean comedy and a delightful exploration of the vagaries of love.
