A clever play that explores matrimony in two different plots: one lady enjoys public life in London despite her husband's wish to keep her for himself, while another tries to attract her betrothed through some scheming.

The Belle's Stratagem offers witty dialogues and a great use of disguise, which might remind you of classic plays like Shakespeare's or Oscar Wilde's. Humor was present throughout the play, and I laughed out loud more than once.
