The Witty Fair One

About the show

Violetta tries to escape an arranged marriage to Sir Nicholas Treedle and marry Aimwell, maneuvering around her father’s servant and a foolish tutor through disguises and mistaken identities. In the subplot, Penelope stages a false funeral to make libertine Fowler confront his life and repent. The identity of the “witty fair one” is disputed between Violetta and Penelope.
