The NHB Drama Classics series presents the world's greatest plays in
affordable, highly readable editions for students, actors and
theatregoers. The hallmarks of the series are accessible introductions
(focussing on the play's theatrical and historical background,
together with an author biography, key dates and suggestions for
further reading) and the complete text, uncluttered with footnotes.
The translations, by leading experts in the field, are accurate and
above all actable. The editions of English-language plays include a
glossary of unusual words and phrases to aid understanding. The Rover
is a classic Restoration comedy by the first English woman playwright.
Arriving in Naples at carnival time, a group of exiled cavaliers
determine to enjoy themselves. They are repeatedly tempted and tricked
by various prostitutes and their pimps, until their leader, the Rover,
is finally forced to give up his wild behaviour when he falls in love
with a single-minded, wealthy virgin. Edited and introduced by Simon
Trussler.
