The Sunday Play: The Country Wife

BBC Radio 3
on BBC Radio 3

by William Wycherley, adapted by Martyn Read. The last of four Sunday Play productions featuring classics of Restoration drama with the late Sir Michael Hordern in his final role. London, 1675, and the King's Players give the first performance of William Wycherley 's new play, in which Harry Horner, an unredeemed rake-hell, hits upon a remarkable stratagem for conquering new bedchambers!
Music by Malcolm McKee. Director: Sue Wilson
