The director added short songs in between some of the scenes, including "Baby Got Back" set to 18th Century 4-part male harmony. I applaude anyone who reads these plays, but like all things in this genre, plays are ment to be experienced. If you can find a production of a Restoration play in your area, GO!

Some fifteen years ago, I saw a wonderful production of this play at the Guthrie Theater in Minneapolis. One of my favorite clothing purchases ever is the production t-shirt which has a fabulous quote from the play on the back: "I've had no time for love. I've been too busy winning admiration."
