Love for Love A Comedy

Congreve gives us exactly what a French or English Restoration piece calls for: satire, wit, and an honest yet inconspicuous view of the human condition as perceived in 1695.

While many of the characters do not actually appear to be "e;good"e; people, their manipulative personalities and sometimes evil ways are simply a representation of what was going on in the theatre around this time.

Restoration required BIG characters with even bigger character flaws.

When done well this play is a hysterical comedy with a great view into the personal problems of the era. (Goodreads)
