The Mulberry-Garden

About the show

A split-plot Restoration tragicomedy interweaves a heroic romance, a witty couple’s pursuit of an independent marriage, and satire of Puritans, gallants and a lecherous old man. After obstacles impede the aristocratic lovers Althea and Eugenio and Diana and Philander, a deus ex machina brings their marriages about; Olivia and Wildish’s more independent union anchors the middle plot.
