Aphra Behn - The Emperor of the Moon

Michela Bertazzo

A Restoration farce by a successful woman playwright. "Doctor Baliardo, a Neapolitan philosopher, has so applied himself to the study of the Moon, and is enraptured to such an extent with the mysteries of that orb, that he has come steadfastly to believe in a lunar world, peopled, ruled and regulated like the earth. This wholly fills and absorbs his every waking thought, and, in consequence, he denies his daughter Elaria and his niece Bellemante to their respective lovers, the Viceroy’s two nephews, Don Cinthio and Don Charmante, as being men of mere terrestial mould." - Summary by Montague Summers, 1915Cast list:Doctor Baliardo: Adrian StephensScaramouch, his Man: Anna MariaPedro, his Boy: <a href="https://librivox.org/reader/16409" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener
