Archives - The Constant Couple

by George Farquhar

Directed by Roy Brewer

Saturday 17th – Saturday 24th April 1971 in the Auditorium

A lively and rather bawdy late-Restoration comedy of intrigue, impersonation and the eager pursuit of the opposite sex. A warm and good-natured play by the same pen which wrote The Beaux Strategem and The Recruiting Officer and it is a worthy companion to these evergreen comedies.
