Sir John Vanbrugh's 17th-century masterpiece, The Provoked Wife, skewers lousy marriages and the ways we deal with them with a sarcastic wit as fresh-seeming as it was when the comedy premiered over 300 years ago. In this energetic production by Generation Theatre, duels, drunken escapades and cross-dressing cuckolds abound as Lady Brute deals with the antics of her oafish husband -- and with the advances of the dashing Constant. It's all part of a lesson that, centuries later, we have yet to learn: Don't provoke your wife.
