Daniel Defoe's Moll Flanders

Synopsis:
Moll Flanders, adapted from the bawdy novel by Daniel Defoe, is a rollicking comedy about a seventeenth century woman in England and the twists and turns her eventful life takes. A ribald tale of crime, repentance, love, and trying to pay the rent. Full of music, marriages, mishaps, adventures, misadventures, and humor.
