Hi! You're here. I'm borrowing the WiFi signal of a local establishment, on my way to the store to get hot dogs and stuff for a mini-picnic on Monday at work (it's Memorial Day in these parts, and the few of us who volunteered to work our holiday are going to have a nice time).
Yes, The Way of the World. I read it, with extensive glosses, and loved it. I never thought (I was 19, what did I know about theatre!) it could be adequately staged! I like the idea of the staging you mention.
I don't know the name of the era as "Restoration," but that's because I'm not a citizen of the Commonwealth... but, yes, I liked that era of literature. One of my undergraduate degrees is in English -- grammar and literature, basically. I was too young when I took those classes to appreciate all of it the way I do now, re-reading the stuff. I used to know a lot more of it than I can recall right now. This was 30 years ago, after all. Alas.
