The Recruiting Officer

Bonnie — Tue, 27 Dec 2011 21:51:53 +0000

'Unless we could make ourselves some pleasure amidst the pain, no mortal man would be able to bear it.'

It's with the promise of money, glory and adventure that Captain Plume is recruiting the men of Shrewsbury for the King's army. He's also determined to make a conquest of Sylvia, but as she’s now an heiress she can afford to put him to the test. All the while, the scheming Melinda is toying with the affections of Captain Brazen and the gentleman Mr Worthy.

From military manoeuvring to sexual strategies, Farquhar's triumphant The Recruiting Officer, written in 1706, is an unashamed celebration of love, lustiness and victory in battle and in the bedroom.

Rachael Stirling plays Melinda.

The trailer for the 2012 film Salmon Fishing in the Yemen has been released, and you can view it here: Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt in 'Salmon Fishing in the Yemen' trailer.

As Rachael plays Mary Jones, who is Ewan McGregor's character's wife, it seems unlikely that they will have a happy ending. You'll understand why if you watch the trailer and see his interaction with the character portrayed by Emily Blunt.

The film is due for release in the UK on 9th March 2012.
