Irish dramatist Thomas Southerne adapted his best-known play Oroonoko (1695) from the 1688 novel, Oroonoko; Or, The Royal Slave, by Aphra Behn (1640-1689). Many of his other plays are adaptations as well, including both Sir Anthony Love, or, The Rambling Lady (1690), adapted from the Aphra Behn novel The Lucky Mistake (1689), and The Fatal Marriage, sometimes referred to as Isabella after the title character, taken from Behn's work The History of the Nun (1689). The Wives' Excuse, or, Cukolds Make Themselves (1691) depicts the plight of a woman trapped in a bad marriage. Other plays included The Loyal Brother, or, The Persian Prince (1682), The Disappointment, or, The Mother in Fashion (1684), The Maid's Last Prayer, or, Any Rather Than Fail (1693), The Fate of Capua (1700), The Spartan Dame (1719), and Money The Mistress (1726).
