What an interesting and kind of incredibly cool play. That sounds vague, but I really enjoyed it. The twists and turns, the fluidity of sexuality, and the nature of authorship are fascinating, and the main character, Aphra, is a brilliantly complex and engaging woman. It's really fun.

What a ride! Such a fantastic blend of period, intrigue, romance, drama... It’s wonderfully refreshing to see a positive portrayal of a strong bisexual woman, of consent, of polyamory. This is a delightful ride.

I read this play for a class and became obsessed with it. It's so clever, so subversively queer, so charming and so hopeful.

I had a hell of a good time reading Or. It is sweet and clever and sexy with gorgeous language and vivid characters. I especially loved Aphra and Nell's interactions...
The main characters are based on historical figures but I had absolutely no problem connecting with them and their relationships (and I am woefully dense when it comes to historical figures!). Though I imagine if you have any love for/interest in Aphra Behn, Nell Gwyn or Charles II, you will absolutely love seeing them here.
I really want to see a stage production of this now.
