Set in 18th century England, A Bold Stroke For A Wife was first performed in 1718. The play was written by Susanna Centlivre, one of the first professional female playwrights. Critics have described A Bold Stroke For A Wife as “perhaps the finest example of Centlivre's masterful plotting of comic intrigue.”
