Inconstant

Inconstant, subtitled 'The Way to Win Him,' is a comedy by George Farquhar set in Paris, diverging from the English settings typical of his other works. First performed in the early 18th century, the play faced a challenging reception and was nearly condemned, with Farquhar accusing rivals of attempting to sabotage it. Despite its rocky debut, the play showcases Farquhar's signature wit and complexity, making it a notable addition to his oeuvre.
