| Description |
Lady Wishfort has a sprawling family each with their own concerns. There’s a fortune at stake and reputations to be ruined or preserved. In this jostling world, Congreve conjures up a witty, sharply satirical game as lovers old and new manoeuvre for advantage, or survival in a changing world.
Congreve’s comedy from 1700, now set in the 1950s, explores the collision between two worlds; an older world with its presumptions about marriage, money, power and influence is countered by a newer world where feeling and consideration come to the fore before a marriage is agreed. |
