I may be your servant in the theatre, but in real life, sweetheart, you
are my sex-slave. Just you remember. Lust and avarice trample on the
finer feelings of love in this subversive take on sexual manners and the
cruelties of courtship. The man thinks that marriage is simply a matter
of money and property. But just how far should the woman go to prove him
wrong? A world of darker meaning lies beneath the wit and verbal
exuberance of Martin Crimp's version of Marivaux's great comedy.
