False Admissions

on BBC Radio 3

(Les fausses confiances) by MARIVAUX; translated by TIMBERLAKE WERTENBAKER
This stylish comedy, first produced in 1737, is set in France, in the country house of the rich widow, Araminte. Dorante, who is madly in love with her, insinuates himself into her household as a steward. But, he is sorely beset by well-intentioned friends, who strive to serve his ends but only succeed in embroiling him in more and more complex deceptions and misunderstandings.
GORDON LANGFORD (harpsichord) Directed by DAVID JOHNSTON
