In the play "The Feigning Courtesans" two sisters Marcella and Cornelia run away and pretend like they are courtesans. One does so to escape marriage from someone she doesn't care for. Meanwhile, a past lover of Marcella falls in love with the new person she pretends to be. In the end, Marcella is allowed to be with the one she loves and other subplots are settled. I like Aphra Behn. She was one of the first women writers able to make a living off her writing. I read "The Rover" earlier and that was better. Still, this was ok.
