| Summary: | John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, is a libertine. Poet. Friend and confidant of Charles II. Notorious rake. An anti-monarchist royalist, an atheist converted to Christianity. But his contradictory morals are never more tested than when he falls in love with the actress Elizabeth Barry. Thoroughly modern in its attitude to Rochester's sexual indulgence, with all the wit, flair and bawdiness of a Restoration comedy, the play is an incisive critique of an age of excess. |
