À propos de ce contenu audio

 The Way of the World, a brilliant play by British playwright William Congreve, made its debut in 1700 at the theatre in Lincolns Inn Fields, London. Celebrated as one of the finest examples of Restoration comedy, it continues to captivate audiences today. The story revolves around the two lovers, Mirabell and Millamant, who must navigate the complexities of love and social expectations to secure their marriage and Millamants substantial dowry. Their path is fraught with challenges, particularly from Millamants aunt, Lady Wishfort, a bitter woman intent on thwarting their union in favor of her own nephew, Sir Wilful. The plot thickens with the secret affair between Fainall and Mrs. Marwood, adding layers of intrigue and deception. Mirabells clever servant, Waitwell, also plays a key role, executing a plan to trick Lady Wishfort into a false engagement. This rich tapestry of characters and relationships makes for a delightful exploration of wit, romance, and societal norms. (Summary by Wikipedia)Copyright Plays and Dramas
