About the author
Susanna Centlivre
1666–1723
A lively force in Restoration and early 18th-century theatre, this English playwright was known for sharp comedies that mixed romance, satire, and a keen eye for social manners. Her plays were widely performed in London, and works like The Busy Body helped secure her place as one of the era’s most successful women dramatists.
