"Epicoina; or, The Silent Woman" is a comedy by the English playwright Ben Jonson. In this witty play, the author plays with the concepts of gender roles and recreates the situations that arise when a man pretends to be a woman. The main character, Lady FitzPearcles, seems to be the perfect lady – silent, submissive and devoted. However, the secret he hides causes many comical situations and misunderstandings. This play is not only a reflection on marriage and gender identity, but also a sharp satirical reflection of the social conventions and norms of its time. The interweaving of intrigue, sly wordplay, and unexpected character turns make "Epicoina; or, The Silent Woman" extremely fun and interesting to explore.
