RCP is proud to mount the community theatre premiere of this tour de force comedy in verse, an adaptation by local playwright John Strand after a play by Antoine de Montfleury. A man discovers evidence that his wife has been unfaithful, and so he abandons her on an island to die. But she survives, returns in disguise, and brings him to task for his crimes. There will be period costumes, enchanting couplets, and swashes to be buckled. We expect that this will be a production to be talked about for years to come.

Directed by Adam Konowe; produced by Lee Ann Hoffman.

Produced by arrangement with the Joyce Ketay Agency and John Strand.
