In this late Restoration comedy Vanbrugh not only pushes the
unhappily married couple, which had been good for no more than a
raucous subplot in earlier comedies of manners, centre-stage - he
also makes the audience sympathise with the wife: The only thing
Sir John and Lady Brute agree on is that they ought not to have
married each other; now he spends his time in drunken debauchery
with his cronies, while she tries to withstand the advances of her
admirer Constant. After a series of farcical accidents involving
cross-dressing and the eternal lover-in-the-wardrobe, the couple
end where they began. Since the scene in which Sir John disguises
as a clergyman was deemed 'immoral and profane', an alternative
scene (in its way equally profane) was written, in which he
disguises as his own wife. This edition provides both versions and
discusses the play's continuing popularity on the stage.
