William Wycherly’s The Country Wife
April 10, 2025 at 10:30AM
The play too scandalous for the 17th century, this ribald classic of Restoration Comedy was considered scandalous for the way it satirized the upper-class belief that wealth and reputation outweighed moral failings. Margery Pinchwife is the supposedly naive Country Wife brought to the big city by an overprotective husband. Her wit proves more than a match for her husband and the fops, hypocrites, cads, and scoundrels in London. The devious Harry Horner has also returned to town and is conning husbands by spreading rumors of his own impotence to gain access to their wives. When the two meet, all bets are off and there is not a single entendre left undoubled.
This performance is recommended for ages 16+
