After lovers Julie and Leander wonder how the world would be if each other had the better
qualities of the opposite gender, the fairy Feen takes them forward in time to see the
effects that raising children in just that way has had.
Although the play is universally
reviled for a lack of literary aspirations, it has developed a bit of a cult following as
perhaps the earliest example of social science fiction (don’t pay attention to the fairy
behind the curtain) and human time travel!

Now my children! You wish to remake each other? Julie, you want your lover transformed
into a more tender companion? And you Leander, you would rather that your Julie had a
more aggressive bearing?
