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.

Brought  to you by Sweet Tea Shakespeare, this is THE WAY OF THE WORLD - an  audio drama presented in five acts. You are listening to Act 3.

About the play: London, 1700. When the hottest playboy in town falls  in love with a  free-spirited heiress, high society has a lot to say  about it. Scheming  aristocrats, catty ex-girlfriends, country bumpkins,  and a tyrannical  matriarch threaten their romance from all sides. Will  the bickering  lovers get their happily ever after? Or will gossip,  greed, and jealousy  win the day? Featuring iconic characters and some  of the wittiest  dialogue ever written, this audio drama of Congreve’s  beloved  Restoration comedy is brought to life by actors from across the  United  States.

The Way of the World audio drama was directed by Sweet Tea  Shakespeare’s  Assistant Artistic Director, Claire F. Martin, Staged  Managed by Amanda  M. Rogus, and produced by Sweet Tea  Shakespeare. Editing & Original Score by Wesley Johnson. Lyndsey  Turner consulted.
