National theatre cottesloe london / the false servant

Where: South Bank, SE1 9PX

What: A world of darker meaning lies beneath the wit and verbal exuberance of Martin Crimp’s new version of Marivaux’s heartless comedy of bad manners.

In the false servant lust and avarice trample on the finer feelings of love in a subversive take on sexual manners and the cruelties of courtship. When the man thinks that marriage is simply a matter of money and property, just how far should the woman go to prove him wrong?
