Brought to by Sweet Tea Shakespeare, enjoy The Way of the World – an audio drama presented in five acts. You are listening to Act 1.

About the play: London, 1700. When the hottest playboy in town falls in love with a  free-spirited heiress, high society has a lot to say about it. Scheming  aristocrats, catty ex-girlfriends, country bumpkins, and a tyrannical  matriarch threaten their romance from all sides. Will the bickering  lovers get their happily ever after? Or will gossip, greed, and jealousy  win the day? Featuring iconic characters and some of the wittiest  dialogue ever written, this audio drama of Congreve’s beloved  Restoration comedy is brought to life by actors from across the United  States.

The Way of the World audio drama was directed by Sweet Tea Shakespeare’s  Assistant Artistic Director, Claire F. Martin, Staged Managed by Amanda  M. Rogus, and produced by Sweet Tea Shakespeare. Editing & Original Score by Wesley Johnson. Lyndsey Turner consulted.
