Scenario

LADY WISHFORT has a daughter MRS FAINALL, a niece MILLAMANT and a nephew SIR WILFULL WITWOUD. Millamant has two admirers, WITWOUD and PETULANT. Millamant's money is held in trust by her aunt, and if she marries without Lady Wishfort's consent half of it passes to Mrs Fainall. MIRABELL has previously had an affair with Mrs Fainall but is now in love with Millamant. When Mrs Fainall was thought to be pregnant Mirabell arranged for her to marry his penniless friend FAINALL. Mirabell has angered Mrs Marwood by rejecting her advances and Lady Wishfort by flirting with her to gain entry to her house where Millamant and her maid MINCING also live. Mirabell plans to get both Millamant and her fortune by dressing his servant WAITWELL as his uncle Sir Rowland and have him seduce Lady Wishfort ~ she will agree to marry him to disinherit Mirabell, and be publicly embarrassed when he is revealed to be only a servant. Mirabell will then be able to step in to release her from the contract, on condition that he may have Millamant and all her fortune. He has married Waitwell to Lady Wishfort's servant FOIBLE as security that morning. When they discover his plan, Fainall and Mrs Marwood try to turn the tables by revealing Mrs Fainall's affair with Mirabell, on condition that Lady Wishfort turn over all her estate to Fainall.

A history of the play in production

The Way of the World was first performed in March 1700 by Thomas Betterton's company at Lincolns Inn Fields Theatre, London. Mrs Bracegirdle was outstanding as Millamant, a part written specially for her. Betterton played Fainall and John Verbruggen Mirabell, Mrs Barry, Mrs Marwood and Mrs Leigh made a notable Lady Wishfort. Coolly received, the play failed to improve the Company's troubled fortunes. After this it rarely played until 1729, when the Prince of Wales requested it. Its popularity then increased in momentum until it became a regular part of both Drury Lane and Covent Garden repertories, occasionally given by royal command. In December 1732 it was selected as the inaugural production of the new Theatre Royal, Covent Garden. Kitty Clive chose to play Millamant for her 1740 benefit, incorporating a new song setting by Handel, and she moved on 'by particular desire' to the role of Lady Wishfort in 1758. The famous Peg Woffington was so admired as Millamant between 1749 and 1755 that it was said that no one could play the part in her lifetime.

It was really after Mrs Abingdon's retirement from theatre in 1798 that the play began to disappear from contemporary repertories: at Drury Lane she had monopolised the role of Millimant for thirty years. John Kemble revived the play in 1800 but his limited comic ability made him an unsuitable Mirabell. After this the play languished until 1842 when a notable Victorian 'adaptation' at The Haymarket omitted Mrs Fainall's affair with Mirabell and turned Mrs Marwood into a male villain. Thus this ensemble play dropped out of fashion in a period which showed a general distaste for strong writing.

The play began to gain again in critical stature in 1904 due to The Mermaid Society's well-received London production with Nigel Playfair at Witwoud. Playfair went on to produce a very effective modern run twenty years later at The Lyric, Hammersmith with Edith Evans as Millamant (1924). Afterwards Evans made a powerful Lady Wishfort at Old Vic in 1948. John Gielgud directed and played Mirabell at the Lyric Hammersmith in 1953 with Paul Scofield as Witwoud and Margaret Rutherford as Lady Wishfort. Recent productions include the National Theatre at the Old Vic in 1965, the RSC at the Aldwych in 1978. The play was last seen in London when the Chichester Festival Theatre production transferred to The Haymarket in 1984.
