The Provoked Wife, by John Vanbrugh

Friday 20th, Saturday 21st and Sunday 22nd June, 7.30pm

Staged production by the Department of Theatre, Film and TV,
Directed by Mike Cordner

Lady Brute and Sir John have been married for two years. To him, it feels like a lifetime. To her, a life sentence. But will she accept the advances of a potential lover?

The Department of Theatre, Film and Television are staging Vanbrugh's brilliant 1697 comedy, partly in celebration of the 350th anniversary of Vanbrugh's birth. John Vanbrugh's hilarious play takes a witty look at marriage, courtship and temptation. From the drunken antics of the ale-house to the heart of fashionable London, this is a production not to be missed. It seems only right that York and the University should celebrate in this way the achievements of a man who is closely associated with both, and who, not content with outstanding achievements as an architect, proved himself to be one of the finest playwrights of his time.

Tickets: £10 (Full price) and £5 (Concessions) can be purchased via www.provokedwife.co.uk/book. Purchased tickets can be collected on the door at the performance.

Also not to be missed - On Friday 20 June 2014 at 5.45pm We welcome the UK's leading theatre critic, Michael Billington, to discuss 'Restoration Comedy on the Modern Stage' with director Michael Cordner.
This is a free, ticketed event. Places can be booked via www.provokedwife.co.uk/book.
