The action of the play takes place in England in the early eighteenth century.
Henry Fielding is best known for his novel Tom Jones, but he was a prolific writer, and Rape Upon Rape, upon which Lock Up Your Daughters is based, was written when he was 23. As a direct result of two of his other plays, which were political satires, a Bill was passed in 1736 which prohibited the production of any play which had not been sanctioned by the Lord Chamberlain.
