A Bold Stroke for a Wife

By Susanna Centlivre
Director | Melli Bond

One of the funniest plays of the 18th Century by one of its greatest writers: Susanna Centlivre. To wed his love, Colonel Fainwell must persuade each and all of her four guardians: an old beau, a hypocritical Quaker, a snobbish antiquarian and a miserly stockbroker, that he will make an ideal husband. Expect lightening wit and scathing social commentary.

After the performance, the audience will be invited to stay for a short Q&A discussion where members of the cast and the director will give their insights into the play and answer questions.
