The Emperor of the Moon (1687)

by Aphra Behn

Directed by Erin Merritt (formerly of Woman’s Will)

When a gullible father stands in the way of four thwarted lovers, they devise a visit from a magical moon delegation to change his mind, in this irresistible, commedia-inspired, sci-fi farce. How can a dad say no to an Emperor, especially one whose sex-life he’s been trying so hard to watch?
