| The Country Wife | |
| by William Wycherley Opening Night 25 June 2009 | |
| Director: David Corballis | |
| This play, which was first performed in 1675 to much acclaim, was considered later to be so bawdy that it was not performed in its original version until the 1920s. The play has several subplots but mainly focuses on the intrigues of Mr Horner, a man about town who enjoys the favours of many a woman about town, the more safely married the better. One such person is the young, inexperienced married woman, Margery Pinchwife, up from the country to discover the joys of the town, whether her husband approves or not. It is very funny, very naughty and will be a reat antidote to the winter’s cold. | |
