The Constant Couple; Or, A Trip to the Jubilee: A Comedy, in Five Acts by Farquhar
"The Constant Couple; Or, A Trip to the Jubilee: A Comedy, in Five Acts" by George Farquhar is a play written in 1699. This Restoration comedy follows three rivals competing for the affections of Lady Lurewell, a wealthy heiress, triggering a cascade of comic misunderstandings. The play marked Farquhar's first major theatrical success and introduced the rakish Sir Harry Wildair, a character so popular he returned in a 1701 sequel. Staged at
London's Drury Lane Theatre, the comedy has enjoyed numerous revivals over the centuries. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
