Inconstant

by George Farquhar

'Inconstant' is a Restoration comedy set in Paris, revolving around the complexities of love, marriage, and social expectations.

The story unfolds with a mixture of witty dialogue, clever schemes, and miscommunications that highlight the follies and absurdities of French society.
