About this listen

 The Tender Husband is an entertaining farce that combines humor with a layer of intrigue. While the main plot offers plenty of laughs, a second, darker storyline—hinted at in the title—introduces an unsettling twist. This subplot involves the tender husband testing his wifes fidelity through a scheme with his mistress, disguised as a man. Many argue that this unnatural element detracts from the plays overall charm and connection. What do you think? - Summary by ToddHWCopyright Plays and Dramas Drama & Plays
