El Libertino

Información

Dominic Cooper returns to the stage to play the notorious Earl of Rochester in this major revival.


The Libertine directed byTerry Johnson
Stephen Jeffreys play, later made into a film, tells the true story of John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester a charismatic poet, playwright and rake with a legendary appetite for excess. This most ardent of hedonists is forced to reconsider everything he thinks and feels when a chance encounter with an actress at the Playhouse sends him reeling.

Full of flair and wit, this brilliant play is both a wild period piece and an incisive critique of life in an age of excess.
