''Epicœne, or The silent woman'', also known as ''Epicene'', is a comedy by Renaissance playwright Ben Jonson. It was originally performed by the Blackfriars Children or Children of the Queen's Revels, a group of boy players, in 1609. It was, by Jonson's admission, a failure on its first presentation; however, John Dryden and others championed it, and after the Restoration it was frequently revived—indeed, a reference by Samuel Pepys to a performance on 6 July 1660 places it among the first plays legally performed after Charles II's ascension. ==Characters== *Morose, A gentleman that loves no noise *Sir Dauphine Eugenie, A Knight, Morose's nephew *Ned Clerimont, A Gentleman, Dauphine's friend *True-wit, Dauphine's other friend *Epicoene, A young Gentlewoman.
