What a delight of a play! Covering a period of British theatre history rarely discussed, it is chock full of fascinating facts and colorful characters. The wit and wordplay is as joy-filled as Moliere. It makes for a fantastic Restoration theatre option outside of the standards audiences may have seen a million times already. Lovely roles and opportunities for women abound. It honors the everything that makes Restoration theatre so appealing while presenting an original story. It would be a GREAT addition to a classical theatre's season or university's repertoire.

This play is so much fun! It centers women playwrights of the Restoration era, and incorporates all the physical and verbal comedy we expect from a Restoration play. Thoroughly researched, with terrific dialogue and historical references. Plus, it's super-theatrical, with wonderful roles for women. It's a real find not only for for theatres, but for colleges and universities.

Goldhaber has pulled off the extraordinary feat of writing a new play which reads like an authentic Restoration comedy. Replete with highly theatrical shenanigans, comic sexual innuendo, and spirited plot twists, Lady Scribblers sheds feminist light on 17th century theater history but does not feel like a history lesson. It would be lots of fun to perform and to watch.
