Lovers' Vows: A Play in Five Acts Altered from the German of Kotzebue | 
so-soSo I've just read the play from Mansfield Park 🤓
Short, quick paced, and easy to read, Lovers' Vows is an entertaining little play with some humour. I picked it up to gain a deeper understanding of Mansfield Park, and it will be valuable when thinking about role choices and relationships in the novel. However, I'm not sure the play would linger with me on its own merits.

Crinoline_Laphroaig Ooh what a great idea! 23h
eeclayton @Crinoline_Laphroaig and it's very doable. A much smaller undertaking than reading Udolpho for Northanger Abbey! 😂 19h
