Provoked Wife: A Comedy

This Restoration Comedy follows Lady Brute as she decides whether or not to cuckold her coarse and unloving husband. Not as brash and farcical as Vanbrugh's earlier play "The Relapse," "The Provoked Wife" comments on society and matrimony in a surprisingly modern way. - Summary by WendyKatzHiller Cast of Characters: Constant:Adrian Stephens [https://librivox.org/reader/13577] Heartfree:Gred Giordano [https://librivox.org/reader/8011] Sir John Brute:Alan Mapstone [https://librivox.org/reader/7170] Treble, a Singing-Master :ToddHW [https://librivox.org/reader/6754] Rasor, Valet de Chambre to Sir John Brute:Larry Wilson [https://librivox.org/reader/8425] Justice of the Peace:Wayne Cooke [https://librivox.org/reader/12980] Lord Rake, Companion to Sir John:Algy Pug [https://librivox.org/reader/4705] Col.
