Renewed attention on Aphra Behn's 'The Emperor of the Moon'
Original: ‘The Emperor of the Moon: A Farce’ by Aphra Behn
Aphra Behn's late 17th-century farce 'The Emperor of the Moon' is being highlighted, with coverage noting the restoration-era comedy about a physician convinced the moon is inhabited. Behn, one of the first English women to earn a living by writing, remains a subject of interest in theatre circles, and the farce is being revisited for its satirical take on scientific curiosity and lunar obsession.
Why now: The restoration comedy is being revisited in current theatre coverage, likely tied to a production, anniversary or renewed interest in Behn's work.
