Another Restoration comedy! Yay! The only real thing I remember about this particular production was in one performance the actor playing my father completely dried up on stage. It was just him and me, and the scene was exposition. Holy crap. To this day I still do not know how I managed to get all of the details out, him looking at me like a deer in the headlights.
