The Country Wife, 16th to 20th March, 19:45
An amateur performance presented by The Henley Players. Banned from
the stage for 200 years, this is one of the funniest Restoration
comedies of the period. A notorious womanizer hatches a plot to
seduce the women of London society. By spreading rumours of his own
impotency he gains the sympathy of the men in town and access to
their wives. Meanwhile, a young country bride arrives with her
possessive husband, who fears being cuckolded. But she is determined
to enjoy the pleasures of the town, especially those of being loved
by Mr Horner...
The Boyfriend, 16th to 18th and 22nd to 24th
April, 19:45 but 16:00 on Sunday 18th
Presented by Henley Amateur Operatic
and Dramatic Society. Polly (the original poor little rich girl)
Browne is forbidden by her wealthy and widowed father to have a
boyfriend for fear they would only be after her money. But Polly
falls in love with a humble delivery boy. The headmistress of the
French finishing school she attends is an unexpected ally! A fun and
feisty show for all the family.
