Anno 7603
Literal: The year 7603
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!
— Michael Main
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?
