The Rover on its surface is a fresh, lighthearted, and remarkably modern sex romp, detailing the amorous adventures of dashing English Cavaliers and a family of brave and beautiful Spanish gentlewomen at Carnival time. Masks and costumes allow these would-be lovers to break out of their everyday lives and play out their fantasies. But just beneath the play's lusty facade, The Rover frees its female characters to kick at the cages of societal demands to be mother, wife, whore, or saint - and bites at unchecked power with shockingly sharp teeth.
