Restoration

<p>Restoration is set in eighteenth-century England: a world of<br>cruelty injustice and iron privilege. Lord Are is forced by poverty<br>into an unwanted marriage with the daughter of a wealthy mineowner. One<br>morning during breakfast he commits a bizarre and fatal crime. He<br>seeks to pin responsibility for it on his guileless illiterate<br>footman Bob Hedges. A battle ensues between Bob's black <br>justice-hungry wife and the fortified privilege of the ruling classes. <p/><br>This is a new programme text edition of the play with minor<br>revisions to the original text and produced for the tour by Oxford<br>Staeg Company.</p>
