Restoring the Repertoire - Duplicity

Work:: Restoring the Repertoire (S2073865600)

Production:: Duplicity (T987543335)

First performed on 13 October 1781. Mr Osborne is engaged to be married to Melissa and his long standing best friend Sir Harry Portland has fallen in love with Clara. It sounds like the perfect recipe for domestic bliss until Sir Harry’s life starts to unravel and one by one he loses everything he holds dear. The ultimate blow comes when he discovers his woes are all thanks to his friend Mr Osborne. Interspersed with some laugh out loud funny scenes, this is one of the most interesting of Holcroft’s satirical contemplations of a gambling obsessed society with self-destructive tendencies. A rehearsed reading.
