| Summary | A satirical comedy focused on the vices and hypocrisies of Restoration London, 'The Country Wife' was first performed at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, in 1675. Wycherley satirises female hypocrisy, true and false masculinity and human folly through three neatly linked plots. His racy prose dialogue creates an energetic and complex comedy of sex that combines cynicism, satire and farce. |
