THE COUNTRY WIFE by William Wycherley & PLAYHOUSE CREATURES
Directors: Stewart McGill (Country Wife); Mary King (Playhouse Creatures)
The Country Wife, William Wycherley’s provocative and witty Restoration comedy is a sharp, fast-paced satire explores themes of lust, deception, and the social intrigues of the upper class, as city and country collide in a whirlwind of scandal and hilarity.
Playhouse Creatures by April de Angelis – it’s 1663 and Charles II reopens the playhouses and , for the first time, allows women to take to the stage. This vivacious comedy takes us backstage in a restoration playhouse to celebrate a bold moment in the history of modern theatre. Telling the story with comedy, theatrical flair and emotional poignancy, Playhouse Creatures will make you laugh and cry in equal measures.
