Four Restoration marriage plays

Marriage and its discontents lie at the heart of Restoration comedy. In all four of the plays collected here, a married woman confronts her would-be seducer. Each dramatist, however, totally reinterprets that situation. The plays are from Dryden, Otway, Lee and Southerne.
