Product Description: Step into the lively world of Which is the Man? by Hannah Cowley, a brilliant comedy that playfully critiques the gender roles and social conventions of the late 18th century. First performed in 1782, this engaging play is set against the backdrop of English high society, where love and identity are subject to the whims of fortune and societal expectations.
