Following superb reviews in the national press from the month-long stint at the Salisbury Playhouse, George Farquar's famous restoration comedy The Recruiting Officer comes to Exeter Northcott Theatre this December.
The dashing Captain Plume has arrived in Shrewsbury to enlist the local men into the King's army using every trick in the book. He's also got his eye on the heiress Sylvia – but will he and the other men realise that the women are doing some recruiting of their own?
From swashbuckling soldiers to sexual exploits, The Recruiting Officer is a raucous and wonderfully English comedy of bawdiness, bed-hopping and meddling servants.
It plays at the Northcott from December 3 to 7, with post show talks on December 4 and 5. Ticket details on 01392 493493.
