“Madam, my life; my life, Madam, is a perpetual stream of
pleasure, that glides thro' such a variety of entertainments, I believe
the wisest of our Ancestors never had the least Conception of any of
'em.”
—The
Relapse's Lord
Foppington
The
Relapse is a riotous
Restoration Comedy subtitled Virtue
in Danger. A reformed rake succumbs to temptation with a new
love affair while his wife is subjected to a determined seduction
attempt. Meanwhile, the fabulous Lord Foppington, portrayed by the
inimitable Michael
Urie, flamboyantly flirts about town before leaving
to marry a country wife—but his rakish brother is determined to get
there first.
