Lust
Written by The Heather Brothers
Directed by Keith Jarman
8 – 13 July 2002
This rollicking Restoration revel, based on William Wycherley’s ‘The Country Wife’ throws off the shackles of Puritan austerity in a high-spirited celebration of “the noblest urge bestowed on us”. Ribaldry, romance and drama abound in the hilarious tale of Horner, a notorious London libertine. He charms and seduces his way into the hearts and boudoirs of society ladies, while practising elaborate deceptions so as to be trusted by their foolish husbands as a eunuch and chaperon to the ladies of quality. After their smash-hit success of ‘A Slice of Saturday Night’, The Heather Brothers have collaborated once again in the wildly entertaining new musical ‘LUST’.
