The World and His Wife at the Lyric Aces Faversham
The World and His Wife starring Faversham returns to the Lyric in a refined production. Jose Echegaray’s tale of jealousy, truth, and social slander unfolds with strong performances from Faversham and Cooper Cliffe, though Ernesto’s role is seen as overextended and briefly weak. Teodora and Julian drive the tragedy as scandal tests loyalty and honor in a Madrid setting translated by Nirdlinger. Barrymore, in a secondary role, draws praise for charm and versatility as she tours with Frohman’s company.
