Honey-Moon

Honey-Moon

by John Tobin

The Honeymoon is a Restoration-era romantic comedy that follows the whirlwind romance of Juliana and Count Montalban. Heavily influenced by popular fairy tales and Shakespeare's The Taming of the Shrew, the play features mistaken identities, clever schemes, and the irresistible clash of wills as Juliana, a young woman of independent spirit, navigates the complexities of love and marriage. The play's light-hearted tone and witty dialogue are reminiscent of the popular comedies of the period, making it a delightful exploration of the trials and tribulations of love and marriage.
