Love's Last Shift or The Fool In Fashion

A Restoration Comedy Classic (banned for lewdness 300 years ago). The prequel to The Relapse. Love's Last Shift is the story of a last "shift" or trick that a virtuous wife, Amanda, is driven to, in order to reform and win back her out-of-control husband, Mr. Loveless. Having been away for ten years, dividing his time between brothel and bottle, he no longer recognizes his wife when he returns to London. Acting the part of a high-class lady of the night, Amanda entices him into her luxurious house and treats him to the night of his dreams, only confessing her true identity in the morning. Love’s Last Shift was never again performed after the 1690s. Hand typed from early typescripts. For more titles and information: www.century-17.com
