The Way of the World 14+

📖 William Congreve was an English playwright and poet of the Restoration Period. After writing five highbrow sexual comedies his plays lost favor and he stopped writing. The Way of the World was first preformed in 1700. The two main characters are the lovers Mirabell and Millamant. In order for them to wed they must receive Millamant's aunt's blessing. The aunt is a mean old lady who wants her nephew to marry the fair maid. As typical of Restoration drama there are plot twists, misunderstandings and humor typical of the period.
