The Libertine (2016 edition) [Paperback]

The Earl of Rochester. Charismatic poet, playwright and rake with a legendary appetite for excess. Yet when a chance encounter with an actress sends him reeling, he is forced to reconsider everything he thinks and feels.

With all the wit, flair and bawdiness of a Restoration comedy, Jeffreys’ brilliant play is an incisive critique of life in an age of excess.

Revised edition for a major West End revival of this modern classic.
