Theater Production 'The Country Wife'

The Country Wife
by William Wycherley

Directed by Michael O’neill

A complicated fast-paced plot and a heap of sexual jokes fuel this 1675 comedy of manners in which a philandering rake pretends impotence to cover his clandestine affairs with women all over London, just as a young bride arrives from the hinterlands determined to meet as many fascinating London men as possible. Once considered too outrageous to be performed, the play’s verbal energy, sharp social satire, and amoral ethics frame this classic in a mirror that reflects our own era in hilarious ways.
