Sexual intrigue and avarice are the stuff of this high society
romantic comedy that changed the face of English comedy when first
performed in 1700. Translated in this production to the racy 1920s,
this is Oscar Wilde on speed!
Barbed, exhilarating, passionate and timeless wit stripped of frothy
period nonsense delivers gutsy reality in the mouths of some of the
most famous characters ever to hit the English classical comedy stage.
Man-hungry Lady Wishfort, desirable Mrs Millamant, charming schemer Mr
Mirabell, manipulative Mr Fainall and his rich wife and his powerful
mistress Mrs Marwood, comedy duo Witwoud and Petulant, straight talker
from the country Sir Wilfull and many others are woven in a fiendish
plot that should keep you on the edge of your seat.
