The Country Wife Poster

Photobucket
Poster 4 of the series of theatre posters we're doing for DalTheatre. When speaking with the play's director, James Dodding he mentioned that the lead character had a "wide eyed innocence" about her, yet she wasn't as innocent as she would have others believe. I really tried to capture that in the illustration. Here's a brief description of what the play is about;
"Margery sees Old London Town with new eyes. A young wife from the country, she is entranced by the fashionable city folk. But beneath the glamour London is a haven for seducers, charlatans, adulterers and thieves, and plain-spoken Margery is an alien among them. What will happen when this innocent abroad encounters Master Horner, the most duplicitous rake in England? William Wycherley’s uproarious 1676 farce takes us on a darkly comic journey through the sins of the city as they are unsettled by the perspective of the country."
The play is running from March 29–April 2 at the Sir James Dunn Theatre at Dalhousie University so check it out!
