The Country Wife
The Theatre Royal, Haymarket, London from 27th September to 12th January
2008
Tells the story of Horner, a notorious and lascivious man-about-town
and his ingenious scheme for the rampant and mass seduction of the women
of London society. By spreading the false rumour of his own impotence, he
gains the sympathy of the husbands of the town and, more importantly, free
access to their wives. Meanwhile the newly-married Pinchwife desperately
attempts to keep his naïve country bride from the clutches of predatory
London bachelors. When she and Horner meet, events spiral out of his control…
Award-winning actors David Haig, Patricia
Hodge and Toby
Stephens lead the company in Wycherley’s dazzling comedy. Joining them
is exciting young actress Fiona Glascott in the title role.
