crazy ass play. presents gender as an unfixed, and unstable, category. and has the first instance of female crossdressing I've come across in a Renaissance play where no one (not even the audience) knows it's occurring. ideas about 'foreignness' and travel are interesting through the lens of Renaissance expansionism, exploration, and cultural cross-pollination. could be taken to consider the rise of print culture and its proliferation throughout Renaissance culture. solid play.
