Description
The Libertine Stephen Jeffreys A charismatic poet and rake, the Earl of Rochester is known for his legendary appetite for excess. But when he meets an actress who challenges everything he thinks and feels, he is forced to re-examine his life. With wit, flair and bawdiness reminiscent of a Restoration comedy, this play offers a sharp critique of life in an age of indulgence. Through the Earl's journey, Jeffreys explores themes of excess and self-discovery with incisive insight. This brilliant work is a masterful portrayal of a man torn between his desires and his sense of morality. Published in 2016 by Nick Hern Books, The Libertine is a thought-provoking drama that will appeal to fans of Restoration comedy and those interested in exploring the complexities of human nature.
