Description 400 years of searing debate has surrounded this famous play, which many consider a farce, others a serious political diatribe on cruelty in its many forms. One fundamental misjudgment is the oft-repeated phrase that it accurately reflects the Elizabethan view of marriage and the ‘woman’s place’ in the family.vIn other words, it’s just a play of its time – easily dismissed as we squirm embarrassingly at the great playwright’s lack of forward thinking. In many ways, that is a simplistic stance and may not have been the play’s point.
