Sweet Tea Shakespeare Lunch Hours - The Hours: The Country Wife, Part I
Directed by Assistant Artistic Director, Claire Martin, Sweet Tea Shakespeare presents, The Country Wife.
The Country Wife is a Restoration comedy written in 1675 by William Wycherley, based on several plays by Molière. A product of the tolerant early Restoration period, the play reflects an aristocratic and anti-Puritan ideology, and was controversial for its sexual explicitness even in its own time. The title itself contains a lewd pun with regard to the first syllable of "country". Between 1753 and 1924, The Country Wife was considered too outrageous to be performed at all. So, settle in and prepare to enjoy a rollicking, bawdy good time!
Casting is as follows: Duncan Gallagher as Harry Horner; Tyrone Kiaku as Quack; Jillian Robinson as the Boy; Bryson David Hoff as Sir Jasper Fidget; Emily Garrison as Lady Fidget; Alexandra Stroud as Dainty Fidget; Bernardo Mazón Daher as Frank Harcourt; Robbie Diaz as Dorilant; Ronald Román-Meléndez as Jack Pinchwife; Kelsey Petersen as Mrs. Pinchwife; Claire F. Martin as Alithea Pinchwife; Siena Brown as Mrs. Squeamish; Amanda M. Rogus as Lucy; and Cheleen Sugar-Ducksworth as Old Lady Squeamish.
