by George Etherege, adapted for radio by Martin Jenkins
with Derek Jacobi as Dorimant, Anna Massey as Lady Townley, Nigel Stock as Old Bellair, Sarah Badel as Mrs Loveit, Maureen O'Brien as Bellinda, Kathryn Hurlbutt as Harriet, Helena Brett as Emilia and John Webb as Sir Fopling Flutter

Etherege's biting satire, written in 1676 and generally regarded by critics as one of the finest examples of Restoration Comedy, is a ruthless expose of the modes and fashions in contemporary English Society.
