FIRST LOOK: The Libertine starring Dominic Cooper

Dominic CooperFeaturesGalleryStephen JeffreysThe LibertineWest End

We are pleased to bring you these great production images for Stephen Jeffreys' sexually charged restoration piece The Libertine, which stars Dominic Cooper.

John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester is a charismatic poet, playwright and rake with a legendary appetite for excess. Yet this most ardent of hedonists is forced to reconsider everything he thinks and feels when a chance encounter with an actress at the Playhouse sends him reeling. With flair and wit, this wild romp through 1670s London offers an incisive critique of life in an age of excess.

The Libertine runs at the Theatre Royal Haymarket from 22 September to 3 December 2016.
