Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a staged play set in the 18th century, written by the acclaimed Irish playwright George Farquhar. This sparkling satire follows the tangled romantic lives of the amorous characters in an upper-class English family. As parental disapproval and mistaken identities fuel hilarious misunderstandings, the chase for love unfolds amidst the pursuit of wealth, reputation, and social class. Expertly weaving deception and desire against witty dialogue and societal critiques, the author challenges the blind ambition and superficiality that characterized the era. This classic comedy of union and deception remains irresistible to this day.
