About the show

Sebastian has a problem. He's in love with a girl but his father won't agree to their marriage. In desperation he turns to the one person who can help him, the fearless and feisty 'roaring girl' Moll Cutpurse. Dekker and Middleton's rebellious city comedy featuring the cross-dressing Moll Cutpurse was directed by Jo Davies. The role of Moll, the 'roaring girl' was played by Lisa Dillon. The production played in the Swan Theatre from April to September 2014, part of our Roaring Girl season.
