New York City
The Country Wife
$17.00 General Admission; $15.00 Students
HoNkBarK! and Vital Theatre Company present The Country Wife, a very naughty tale of lies and seduction. Banned from the stage for almost 200 years, William Wycherley’s scandalous satire is as potent today as it was in 1675.
By spreading the rumor of his own impotence, notorious ladies man Harry Horner gains access to the so-called “virtuous” ladies of society who are all too ready to join the fun. Meanwhile, a new husband desperately attempts to hide his naïve country bride from the predatory men of the town. When she and Horner quite literally collide, bawdiness ensues. Sex, lies and hypocricy…some things never go out of style.
