Sisters Seek True Love in Rollicking 'Rover'
England's first professional female writer, Aphra Behn, had a life filled with more intrigue than Mata Hari. She spied for the English while in the Netherlands and was thrown into debtors' prison after her return. When she did write, it wasn't with ladylike prettiness. In the boisterously fun, sexually suggestive production of Behn's rollicking, randy "The Rover," at the Knightsbridge Theatre, three sisters search for adventure and true love at a carnival in the Spanish Indies during the 1670s.
