Or, centers around one critical evening in Aphra Behn’s life as she tries to write a play that could make her career, while simultaneously managing the many guests that interrupt her throughout the night. While Or, is based or real people in restoration England - Aphra Behn, the first woman playwright, Nell Gwynn, one of the first famous actresses, and King Charles II of England - the play really transcends time and place by tying in 1960s themes of sexual liberation and feminism that challenge the binaries within society then and now.
