The Provoked Wife

L'Épouse outragée

L'Épouse outragée (The Provoked Wife) est une comédie écrite par le dramaturge et architecte anglais John Vanbrugh en 1697, peu après La Rechute ou la Vertu en danger. Tout comme cette dernière, la pièce fut conçue pour la troupe théâtrale de Vanbrugh, et jouée par elle, mais elle adopte un ton différent.

Tandis que La Rechute avait été rédigée dans un phrasé simple et robuste, susceptible de convenir à des acteurs amateurs ou modestes, Vanbrugh a spécialement adapté L'Épouse outragée aux grands acteurs de l'époque que sont Thomas Betterton, Elizabeth Barry et l'étoile montant Anne Bracegirdle, en dotant la pièce de personnages profonds et nuancés.
