"The London Cuckolds" runs from Thursday, Feb. 19 through Saturday, Feb. 28, 2009 at Carnegie Mellon University's Philip Chosky Theater.
Originally penned by playwright Edward Ravenscroft in 1681, this fast-paced bedroom romp has been retooled for a modern sensibility by contemporary farceur extraordinaire Terry Johnson. In this raunchy, witty, and ribald play, three husbands each claim that they have hit upon the most effective method of keeping a wife virtuous: the first relies on innocence, the second on wit, and the third on piety. But three lusty rogues are out to prove them wrong. What the winsome wives do to their hapless husbands and brainless beaux has to be seen to be believed.

Was this production ever released on film/dvd? Love to get my hands on a copy. A dastardly crime if it wasn't released ! Ravenscroft is a genius!
