In Ben Jonson’s Epicoene, a rich man, Morose, sets out to find a wife and, in doing so, disinherits his nephew, Dauphine. This decision triggers Dauphine’s friends, a group of chauvinistic young men with a history of playing humiliating tricks on Morose, to hijack his uncle’s resolution by presenting him with the woman of his dreams. But is it too good to be true?
Thrillingly relocated to contemporary London, a culture of misogynistic masculinity influencers and oligarchical parties, Jonson’s rarely seen play comes to the ADC.
