The Fair Maid of the Exchange is a play written by Thomas Heywood and published in 1846. It is a comedic and tragicomedy story that follows the fortunes of a young woman named Gertrude, who is known as the ''Fair Maid'' due to her beauty. Gertrude is caught between two suitors, a wealthy merchant and a poor sailor. The play follows her adventures as she tries to navigate the complicated world of love and money in a bustling exchange. Along the way, she encounters a cast of colorful characters, including a group of sailors, a cunning lawyer, and a bumbling servant. The play is set both on land and at sea, providing a varied and exciting backdrop for the story.
