Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The Provok'd Wife" by John Vanbrugh is a classic Restoration comedy that delves into themes of marriage, fidelity, and social convention in 17th-century England. Set in the fashionable world of London's upper class, the play follows the tumultuous marriage of Sir John Brute and his wife Lady Brute. As Sir John's brutish behavior and infidelities drive Lady Brute to despair, she seeks solace in the company of other men, including the dashing Constant, who becomes the object of her affections. Meanwhile, Lady Brute's sister, Belinda, and her suitors add to the romantic and comedic entanglements that ensue. Through its witty dialogue and sharp social commentary, "The Provok'd Wife" offers a satirical glimpse into the mores and manners of Restoration society. Vanbrugh's portrayal of flawed characters and their struggles with love and marriage reflects the tensions and contradictions of the era, while also providing ample fodder for humor and entertainment. With its lively plot, colorful characters, and sparkling wit, "The Provok'd Wife" remains a beloved classic of English theater, showcasing Vanbrugh's talent as a playwright and his enduring relevance in the world of comedy.

Download or read book The Country Wife written by William Wycherley and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2014-02-13 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 'He's a fool that marries, but he's a greater fool that does not marry a fool.' This bawdy, hilarious, subversive and wickedly satirical drama pokes fun at the humourless, the jealous, and the adulterous alike. It features a country wife, Margery, whose husband believes she is too naïve to cuckold him; and an anti-hero, Horner, who pretends to be impotent in order to have unrestrained access to the women keen on 'the sport'. A number of licentious and hypocritical women request Horner's services – the country wife among them. The Country Wife has provoked powerfully mixed reactions over the years. The seventeenth century libertine king Charles II saw it twice, and is said to have joined the 'dance of the cuckolds' at the end of one performance; the eighteenth century actor-playwright David Garrick declared it 'the most licentious play in the English language'; the Victorian Macaulay compared it to a skunk, because it was 'too filthy to handle and too noisome even to approach'. Twentieth century productions heralded it a Restoration masterpiece. Sexually frank, and as ready to criticise marriage as infidelity, the virtuosity, linguistic energy, brilliant wit, naughtiness and complexity of this ribald play have made it a staple of the modern stage. This student edition contains a lengthy, entirely new introduction, by leading scholar, Tiffany Stern, with a background on the author, structure, characters, genre, themes, original staging and performance history, as well as an updated bibliography and a fully annotated version of the playtext.
