This Restoration-Era comedy of manners satirizes the hypocrisy, gamesmanship, and imbalance of power inherent in the institution of marriage as practiced by England’s upper class at the turn of the eighteenth century. Departing from the norm, this text was written by a woman, noted writer/performer Elizabeth Inchbald. The sharp-witted comedy takes aim at issues of independence versus security, honor versus pride, and loyalty versus respect. - Summary by Kelly Taylor Cast: Lord Priory: Beeswaxcandle Beeswaxcandle Sir William Dorrillion: adrianstephens Adrian Stephens Sir George Evelyn :Craigos Craig Franklin Mr. Bronzely:mcivos Arouet Mr. Norberry: HelloCentral HelloCentral Oliver: alanmapstone Alan Mapstone Nabson: greggiordano Greg Giordano Footman: Salvationist David Purdy Man: neecheelok70 Jim Locke Servant: LuMiness LuMiness Lady Priory: Kitty Sonia Lady Mary Raffle: Valroth Valroth Miss Dorrillon: agnesrobert Agnes Robert Behr Housekeeper: StaceyM2022 Stacey Malcom Stage Directions: silverquill Larry WilsonCopyright Comedy Genre アート 文学史・文学批評
