The Wonder! A Woman Keeps a Secret
Susannah Centlivre and Susanna Centlivre
Read by LibriVox Volunteers
Donna Isabella does not want to marry Don Guzman, her father's choice. Donna Violante's father wants her to become a nun. Isabella is attacked on the street and carried insensible into Violante's house. What will happen next? Confidential letters, secret identities, conniving servants, disguises and other fallderoll await! Supposedly Jane Austen put on a family performance of this play. (This is a "reduced and rearranged" version from 1893 edited by Augustine Daly from the original 1714 play by Susannah Centlivre.)
