Synopsis:
Experience a classic farce turned on its head! In this bold, gender-swapped adaptation of The Country Wife, the scandalous wit of Restoration comedy collides with fresh perspective. Follow the notorious Harry Horner—a sharp-tongued womanizer—as he tricks his way into the homes (and hearts) of unsuspecting wives. With the help of a complicit doctor, Horner spreads a rumor that he is no longer a threat to marital fidelity, clearing the way for a whirlwind of secret rendezvous and social chaos. As the lies pile up and the stakes rise, this raucous comedy races toward an outrageous climax.
