The Country Wife by William Wycherley

This, the most infamous of the Restoration Comedies, takes you to a century where pleasure was supreme and appearances everything. London playboy Horner has a cunning plan to enable him to continue any affair he wishes without the unpleasant business of a husband’s suspicions or jealousy. A plan which proves a great success; but will he, finally, be able to reach for that last forbidden fruit? And how will his lovers respond once they discover the extent of his liaisons? Full of elaborate characterisation and high farce, this is a fast paced play designed to delight and entertain. Tickets £10 (£4 students).
