Details

Love's Last Shift is a story of sex, love and money with a touch of adultery, intrigue and back-stabbing. Can Mr Worthy swindle his way to marriage and £5,000 or will Sir William take the time to read the small print? Does Loveless deserve to find out that the whore he's dabbling with is really his forgotten (and now wealthy) wife or should he remain penniless and destitute, destined to drink himself to an early grave? Mr Hart's Theatrical Company brings Colley Cibber's Love's Last Shift to the London stage for the first time in over 200 years. Written in 1696, Love's Last Shift marks the beginning of a new age of comedy, reflecting changing audience taste and sophistication. Performed in full period dress, this is a magnificent opportunity to experience a piece of forgotten British Theatre - definitely not to be missed!
