A new take on William Wycherley’s bawdy The Country Wife comes to Victoria Hall next year opening Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th July courtesy of Harlow Theatre Company.

​

An hilarious restoration comedy with a contemporary edge satirising the sexual duplicity of the well to do in the 17th century. It’s risqué, rude and racy! Characters are a plenty in this comedy of manners meets burlesque where deception, lies and conspiracies are the order of the day.

​

There are plenty of intriguing, larger than life characters available, including:

​

Mr Horner, Mr Harcourt, Mr Pinchwife, Mr Sparkish, Sir Jaspar Fidget, Margery Pinchwife, Mrs Alithea, Lady Fidget, Mrs Dainty Fidget, Mrs Squeamish , Quack the doctor and Lucy the maid.
