The Man of Mode

By Sir George Etherege
Directed by Alexander Clements

In The Man Of Mode we are introduced to the world of Dorimant, his lovers, his friends, servants and other acquaintances. We follow his life as he plots and strives to win the approval of "the town" and to conform to the peculiar values of being "a man of sense".

In the middle of his machinations he meets Harriet with whom he falls deeply in love as she does with him. At first he ignores what is happening to him but by the end of the play, the way is open for him to live another kind of life. We can only guess whether he can take this opportunity
