I have no idea what I read, but I liked the dialogue because it made me laugh. Having read the Wikipedia article, I can sort of figure out what it's about enough to tell someone else about it, but otherwise I'm quite lost.

Found a very old and pretty copy of this in a used bookshop and picked it up mostly because of the cover and title. I didn't really expect to enjoy it - plays aren't normally my thing - but I really did. Actually laughed out loud at a couple points. Nice to see that almost two and a half centuries later, people haven't really changed much. Also, Charles is MVP.
