BWW Review: THE COUNTRY WIFE, Southwark Playhouse

Director Luke Fredericks gives a new spin to William Wycherley's salacious comedy The Country Wife, taking it from its original Restoration setting to the crackling Roaring 20s.

Guest Blog: Director Luke Fredericks On THE COUNTRY WIFE at Southwark Playhouse

Working on William Wycherley's The Country Wife for its forthcoming production at Southwark Playhouse has revealed much about attitudes to sex, to gender equality, to social behaviour and to class.
