A man marries a young and naïve woman and brings her to the big city where she finds a community filled with sex, intrigue, and secrets. Does it sound like an episode from a popular television series? Nope, it’s the plot of The Country Wife! Written in 1675, The Country Wife is a bawdy comedy which finds a wife from the country introduced to life in the big city and a clever man who has astonishing ruse to gain unlimited access to many of the wives of the community. Saucy, hilarious, and filled with clever language and social satire, this play will be a wonderful summertime entertainment!
This play, directed by Susan Dunhaupt, features the acting talents of Martha Baird, Dick Brown, Jordan Ett, Brendon Etter, Mandy Everhart, Jane Fenton, Jodi Gustafson, Rolf Kragseth, Tania Legvold, Bryan Reed, Megan Proft, Jon Terrill, Peter Webb, and Shelley Whitehead. The lighthearted and saucy play will be presented in the lovely setting of Central Park in Northfield on August 5-7 and 11-13. All performances start at 7pm. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and seniors.
