'I am up for it. All the time. That's not a boast. Or an opinion.
It is bone-hard medical fact.' John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester.
Charismatic poet, playwright and rake with a legendary appetite for
excess. Yet when a chance encounter with an actress at the
Playhouse sends him reeling, he is forced to reconsider everything
he thinks and feels. With all the wit, flair and bawdiness of a
Restoration comedy, Stephen Jeffreys' brilliant play is an incisive
critique of life in an age of excess. Originally performed at the
Royal Court Theatre in 1994, The Libertine has been staged around
the world, was adapted for radio, and became a film. This edition
of the play was published alongside the 2016 production at the
Theatre Royal Bath and Theatre Royal Haymarket, directed by Terry
Johnson and starring Dominic Cooper as Wilmot.
