Sinossi
Originally written in 1910, The Guardsman is a dizzy farce about a theatrical couple (Jon Barker and Victoria Mack) whose six-month-old marriage is in serious trouble. Being insecure, he thinks his wife could be capable of infidelity. To catch her out, he disguises himself as a dashing young guardsman and puts her faithfulness to the test by attempting to seduce her. But how can he be sure that she doesn't know it's him? The Guardsman is a dark, sad, lonely play that is both profound and very funny. Currently experiencing a revival in the US, its themes and comedic pleasures will appeal to audiences and readers all around the world.
