A staged reading of The Emperor of the Moon (1687) by Aphra Behn, directed by Erin Merritt, as part of the Classical Women Writers Readings Series of the 2022 Bay Area Women's Theatre Festival. "When a gullible father stands in the way of four thwarted lovers, they devise a visit from a magical moon delegation to change his mind, in this irresistible, commedia-inspired, sci-fi farce. How can a dad say no to an Emperor, especially one whose sex-life he's been trying so hard to watch?"
