| Roles | |
|
Horner |
The lead character. A rake and a scoundrel. He spreads a rumour that he is impotent so men will leave their wives with him unsupervised. When they do, he seduces them with ease! |
|
Harcourt Gabriel Aldam |
Horner’s best friend, also a rake. He falls in love with Alithea at first sight and attempts to seduce her. |
|
Dorilant Ryan Bull |
and Harcourt’s friend. A rake and a trouble maker. |
|
Pinchwife Richard Pink |
Terrified of being cuckholded, he marries a young simple country girl rather than a city girl. Jealous and paranoid, he regularly locks her in her room, which only makes her more curious about city life (and city men!) |
|
Sparkwish Doug Sheppard |
A wealthy fopp. He thinks he is a man about town, but he is actually the butt of most jokes. |
|
Sir
Jaspar Fidget Granville Rush |
A caricature of the aristocracy. A wealthy man who willingly leaves his wife and sister in Horner’s company. |
|
Margery
Pinchwife Nancy Jones |
A naïve, simple girl who is enraptured with the rife debauchery of the London life. |

Alithea Leena Devi |
The only chaste and honest character in the play! She is engaged to Sparkish, so refuses Harcourt’s advances, despite her feelings. |

A ‘Lady of Quality’ who is obsessed with Horner – once she discovers he isn’t impotent! |
