The Provoked Wife: A Comedy

Gelesen von LibriVox Volunteers

John Vanbrugh

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.
