The Country Wife
Adapted and directed by David Blount

Considered too obscene to be staged in its original form for nearly 200 years, William Wycherley's Restoration comedy tells the tale of Mr Horner, a notorious rake, who spreads the false rumour that he is impotent in order to gain access to other men's wives.
