William Congreve

"We have such a gallery, if not of great characters, at any rate of strongly-marked acting parts, as could not but ensure the success of the play... The plot was clear and simple, the action coherent and continuous, there is nothing to surprise us in the instantaneous triumph of Love for Love." - Summary by William Archer, editor, 1912
