A new take on William Wycherley’s bawdy The Country Wife comes to Victoria Hall next year opening Wednesday 2nd to Saturday 5th April 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.
