In 1688 the British writer and playwright Aphra Behn published her 'true history' called Oroonoko, or the Royal Slave. It tells the story of an African prince, tricked into slavery and transported to the British colony of Surinam in South America. Biyi Bandele has written a witty, thought-provoking play that is at once a celebration of Aphra Behn's humanist vision, a bold and irreverent re-interpretation of the three hundred year-old classic and a tragic love story that resounds with passion. First performed by the Royal Shakespeare Company at The Other Place, Stratford-on-Avon, in 1999. (Cast 10m, 3f).…mehr

Autorenporträt
Aphra Behn (1640-1689) was an English playwright, poet, prose writer and translator from the Restoration era. As one of the first English women to earn her living by her writing, she broke cultural barriers and served as a literary role model for later generations of womenauthors. Rising from obscurity, she came to the notice of Charles II, who employed her as a spy in Antwerp. Upon her return to London, she began writing for the stage. Her best-known works are Oroonoko or, The Royal Slave, sometimes described as an early novel, and the play The Rover.
