Set in Restoration England, the play delves into the romantic dilemmas of two couples, Mirabell and Millamant, along with Fainall and Mrs. Marwood. As they navigate courtship, Mirabell faces opposition from Millamant's disapproving aunt, Lady Wishfort, while Fainall and Mrs. Marwood scheme against him. With sharp wit and vibrant characters, the narrative satirizes upper-class social norms, exploring themes of love, power, and deception. Renowned for its clever dialogue and intricate plot, it stands as a hallmark of Restoration comedy.
