Sir Anthony Love

by Thomas Southerne
directed by Andrew Watring

November 2024

The rakish Sir Anthony “as famous for [his] action with the men / as for [his] passion for the women” follows the dashing and handsome Valentine to Montpelier, determined to reignite the love affair they enjoyed in London when Valentine knew Sir Anthony as Lucia, a woman abandoned by her lover, Sir Golding. Sir Anthony joins Valentine and the prickly Ilford in madcap capers with three young local women determined to make their own choices in love. A witty exploration of the gaps between appearance and reality in multiple registers, the play appears to end according to the generic conventions of comedy while in reality offering ample space to explore the unconventional happy endings of its characters.
