This is a play of three interweaving storylines with a man's ploy to satisfy his lust at the expense of the cuckolds, a woman's fighting her husband to be more cosmopolitan, and her sister's adventures in love. I found the most entertaining to be the first, Horner's (hardy har har) plea of impotency to sleep with every society lady in town, which is accompanied by a full., 10-page scene where they permanently made "china" (as in porcelain) a dirty word. Very clever play that ties these all together quite well given the divergence of the storylines. Language wise, it's not too difficult to understand, and the difficult parts, at least in my edition, were footnoted to explain a word or line in modern English. Read in one sitting.
