The Luckey Chance

The Lucky Chance, or an Alderman's Bargain by Aphra Behn is a 17th-century comedy in five acts. The play was first staged in the Spring of 1686.[1] Its main theme is romance and it includes devices such as impersonation and disguise,[2] and a masque including music and dancing.[3]

The play continues to be performed. A version in 1960s dress was staged by Echo Theatre in 2013 at the Bath House Cultural Center in Texas, United States.[2]
