The Lady of Pleasure
T0785705397
Recently arrived in fashionable London, Aretina Bornwell is driving her husband Sir Thomas to distraction with her pleasure-seeking, high-spending ways. Can he curb her expensive habits? Is she planning an affair with the man-about-town Kickshaw? And what exactly are her husband s intentions towards the wealthy young widow Celestina? The Lady of Pleasure, first produced in 1635, is a witty comedy of London life, set among a fashionable world of deceit, sexual hypocrisy and social one-upmanship. This production finds its natural home in the swinging London of the mid 1960s, the world of Carnaby Street, beautiful people and dedicated followers of fashion.
