Finally read what my friend recommended me as "one of the only love stories between two women in the 17th century". It's of course not a fully out lesbian story (if you read it for that you'll be disappointed) but it's very interesting, historically speaking, to help you see where the same-sex relationships stood at this time.
So it's not mindblowing like some other theatre pieces I've read (though it's good! Benserade clearly knows what he's doing), but I would recommend it at least for one's general knowledge.
I also have to point out the preface-- really well-written and giving us very useful information about the historical context.

People don’t talk about love the way they used to. *deep sigh*

Beaucoup moins scandaleuse et sensationnelle que ne le disent les résumés, cette pièce offre une perspective tout autre de l'amour homosexuel et de l'amour en général. A lire.
