The Lucky Chance

The Lucky Chance is a Restoration comedy which has been underperformed for over 250 years. Its author, Aphra Behn (1640-1689), the first professional woman playwright, was a prolific writer who enjoyed great acclaim in her own lifetime, but whose work has been neglected since the eighteenth century. The Lucky Chance is a hugely comic play which deals in clandestine affairs, infidelities, love and marriage. --- from book's back cover
