The Amorous Prince
by Aphra Behn
Set in Florence and concerned about the conflict of pervasive sexuality and female virtue, Ben's second play comically explores the consequences of immorality and decadence in the upper echelons of society, parodying the aristocratic attitudes of Charles II's court. The main plot concerns Prince Fredrick's erotic quest, especially his sister (Cloris) and his best friend's bride and court curtius.
