AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Taking inspiration from Mozart’s opera, 'Don Giovanni', Clarke recounts in his play, 'The Rake', the final day of Lord Grayson’s hedonistic life–another day of seducing women and general debauchery: breaking into a lady’s bedroom, murder, and enticing a bride on her wedding day. But despite his impressive reputation, Lord Grayson’s fortuity is petering out. Miss Anna has pledged retribution while the spurned Mrs Evelyn is in pursuit. Mason wants his bride back. And Lord Grayson hears a phantom voice, warning of his impending punishment. Flaunting his bravado, Lord Grayson ostentatiously invites the statue of the man whom he has murdered to dinner. Will he attend?'
