CMU’s School of Drama Presents "The Rover”

Carnegie Mellon University School of Drama 's production of "The Rover” opens Thursday, Nov. 17, and runs through Saturday, Dec. 3, in the Purnell Center for the Performing Arts' Philip Chosky Theater. The play portrays the adventures of Willmore the Rover during Carnivale in Naples in 1650. Written by 17th century feminist playwright Aphra Behn, the play was adapted by John Barton, and is being directed by David Bond of the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. "'The Rover' is not typical of plays of this period,” Bond said. "The characters are not recognizable from other plays of the time - they are not the familiar parade of fops, cuckolds, naive country maidens and predatory men.
