The Three Cuckolds

A cogent and utterly comic adaptation of an original scenario from the commedia repertoire, THE THREE CUCKOLDS, abounds in pristine farcical devices that were later used by everyone from Moliere to Behan. A handsome preservation of a truly classic play. Here are the basic attitudes and postures, intrigues and contrivances combined to tell the story of a hapless wandering lover who comes to the first of 3 cottages to cuckold the husband thereof, and gets wound up in the adventurous attempts of all three husbands to cuckold one another. The company backs into a moral at the end, as the hapless lover wanders off unrequited.
