Visiting in a few weeks with a full agenda.
Has anyone seen The Way of the World ... if so, your thoughts?
Would you recommend the play over The Quiz or Everybody's Talking About Jamie? (My friend and I don't have tickets yet, but looking into lottery or day seats.)

I just saw it tonight. I’d say if you think you’d like it, you’ll love it. Congreve is so brilliant and witty, and this production was wonderfully cast and paced. And costumed. I expect to remember it. Reviews emphasize its clarity, I agree with them. That said, having never read it or seen it before I can’t recite the plot/plots with confidence, though I never felt totally lost.
A few people didn’t reappear after the intermission, their loss as the second half is livelier and more physical than the first.
I got a single ticket by stopping by in the afternoon though it was sold out online.
