Arriving in Naples at Carnival time, a group of exiled Spanish cavaliers determine to enjoy themselves. They are repeatedly tempted and tricked by various prostitutes and their pimps, until their leader, 'The Rover', is finally forced to give up his wild behaviour when he falls in love with a single-minded, wealthy virgin. Written in 1677 this classic comedy is by England's first woman playwright.
