A Commonwealth Of Women

""A Commonwealth of Women"" is a play written by Thomas D'Urfey and first performed at the Theater Royal by Their Majesties Servants in 1886. The play is set in the fictional country of Amazonia, where women rule and men are subservient. The story follows the adventures of a group of men who are shipwrecked on the island and must navigate the matriarchal society. The play explores themes of gender roles, power dynamics, and the struggle for equality. D'Urfey's witty and satirical writing style makes for an entertaining read, and the play's commentary on gender and society is still relevant today.
