When Lady Happy and her friends decide to ignore society’s expectations and instead consciously choose to avoid men and marriage, they seclude themselves inside a free-thinking and joyous community, creating a radical feminist utopia - The Convent of Pleasure.
First published in 1668, The Convent of Pleasure is a closet drama - a play not intended to be performed. In its 354 year history, there have been very few public presentations and we are thrilled to have the opportunity to share Cavendish’s brilliant writing with a larger audience.
