Seduction

Set in 18th century London, the play follows Maria, a young woman caught in a web of seduction by the wealthy Darnley, despite her engagement to Wilmot. Through a blend of humor and satire, it examines themes of love, betrayal, and social class, featuring a diverse cast, including a clever servant and a wise philosopher. Holcroft's work serves as a sharp critique of societal norms and the perils of manipulation, making it a significant commentary on the era's social dynamics.
