The Man of Mode
George Brown Theatre School
February 8 – 18, 2012
First performed in 1676 The Man of Mode, or Sir Fopling Flutter satirizes the behavior of the libertines, courtiers, and wits of London during the seventeenth century: a fashionable world of theatricals, parks, drawing rooms, masks, flirtations, stylish clothing, and sexual intrigues. The Man of Mode acquired historical significance because of its influence on the Restoration drama that followed it, giving rise to the comedies of William Congreve and Richard Brinsley Sheridan. George Brown Theatre is proud to welcome master teacher and director David Latham, who, for many years, was Principal of the Stratford Festival Conservatory.
