Description

The Way of the World is a play written by the English playwright William Congreve. Congreve's The Way of the World tells the story of Mirabell and Millamant, two lovers seeking marriage against the wishes of the latter's aunt, Lady Wishfort. Knowing that they will not receive Millamant's full dowry without the resentful Lady Wishfort's blessing, the lovers go to enormous lengths to secure their inheritance and vindicate their love. A scathing satire that has thrilled audiences since its 1700 première, The Way of the World remains a timeless parody on love, happiness, and material gain.
