| + | "The Emperor of the Moon", produced at the Duke's Theatre in 1687, was one of the theatrical triumphs of Aphra Behn (1640-1689), | ||
| + | writer in English, a skilled poet, novelist, translator, and dramatist.\\ | ||
| + | This farcical piece was based on a French original by | ||
| + | Nolant de Fatouville, Arlequin empereur dans la lune; both drew heavily on the Italian commedia dell’arte tradition. Behn’s version, full of scenographic as well as | ||
| + | comic delights, injected a welcome dose of absurd hijinks into the London theatrical tradition and was staged repeatedly to the end of the 18th century. | ||
