		Restoration Theatre will thus be reframed as topological practice of public presentation and perception between present bodies, increasingly struggling with fundamental shifts towards individualisation, visualisation, urbanisation - thus cosmopolitan bourgeois art, as we in fact do know it.
		As a result, the female characters of their plays are either too independent, and therefore too 'masculine', necessarily cast out as villains at the end of the play, or else too passive, and therefore too 'feminine', unable to survive in a competitive and demanding world and virtuously dying as the curtain falls.
		To the present-day reader of Restoration drama, this impression may come from the emphasis placed by dramatists of the 1680s on coffee houses as places where sedition and political rumour were brewed.

	Restoration comedy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Restoration comedy is the name given to English comedies written and performed in the Restoration period from 1660 to 1700.
		Restoration comedy is famous (or notorious) for its sexual explicitness, a quality encouraged by Charles II (1660–1685) personally and by the rakish aristocratic ethos of his court.
		The greatest fixed stars among Restoration actors were Elizabeth Barry ("Famous Mrs Barry" who "forc 'd Tears from the Eyes of her Auditory") and Thomas Betterton, both of them active in organising the actors' revolt in 1695 and both original patent-holders in the resulting actors' cooperative.

	Women in the Restoration Theatre
		Thus, when Charles II was brought back to England and restored to the throne in 1660, along with the scenery and spectacle he had grown used to, this idea of female actors appearing on stage along with men, arrived with him.
		When theatres were reopened in 1660, the new companies that were formed by Killigrew and Davenant discovered something hindering to them: due to the banning of theatre, no trained boy actors were around (Wilson 20).
		In these Restoration rewrites, the character of Othello was portrayed as a more sympathetic character, helping women identify with his alienation, and “women writers, in producing more sensitive representations of fl characters, were also subtextually presenting more positive representations of themselves” (Pearson 19).

		Following the political and social turmoil of the English Civil War, the Restoration Age was characterized by a sense of loss and cultural disillusion coupled with efforts to restore social stability and cohesion.

	Restoration spectacular - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		When the public performance ban was lifted at the Restoration of the monarchy in 1660, Charles II immediately encouraged the drama and took a personal interest in the scramble for acting licenses and performance rights which followed.
		This theatre, the first step in the war of spectacle escalation of the 1660s, was so full when Pepys and his wife went to see an opera there that "they told us we could have no room".
		The dangerous Restoration economic spiral of the ever-more-expensive machine plays would teach 18th- and 19th-century theatrical entrepreneurs to dispense with playwrighting altogether and minimise the cast, utilising any number of surprising effects and scenes in the dumbshow of pantomime and Harlequin, without attendant costs in music, dramatists, and cast.

	Rampant and Scandalous
		Small and rectangular, these spaces looked little like the open-air public theatres from the ages of Elizabeth I, James I, and Charles I. But to Killigrew, Davenant, and Charles II, all of whom had spent time on the Continent during the civil strife of the 1640s and '50s, this was a familiar shape.
		The Restoration theatres were not, however, exact replicas of the Continental design.
