The Constant Couple; Or, A Trip to the Jubilee: A Comedy, in Five Acts

"The Constant Couple; Or, A Trip to the Jubilee: A Comedy, in Five Acts" by George Farquhar is a humorous play set in the 1700s that follows the complicated love lives of characters like Sir Harry Wildair and Colonel Standard, as they navigate high society and compete for affection. The play begins with lively conversations in a park, where characters like Vizard deal with rejection and Colonel Standard comically reflects on his misfortunes and romantic hopes. Sir Harry Wildair then struts in, showing off his easy-going attitude and bragging about his adventures. The first act kicks off a story of mischief, competition, and the search for true love, all wrapped up in Farquhar's clever and funny style of social commentary.
