Seduction: A Comedy is a play written by Thomas Holcroft in 1787. The play takes place in London and revolves around the story of a young woman named Maria, who is seduced by a wealthy and manipulative man named Darnley. Maria is engaged to be married to a man named Wilmot, but Darnley uses his charm and wealth to win her over and convince her to leave Wilmot. The play explores themes of love, betrayal, and social class, and features a cast of colorful characters including a scheming servant, a naive young woman, and a wise old philosopher. Ultimately, Seduction: A Comedy is a witty and entertaining satire of the social mores of 18th century London, and a timeless commentary on the dangers of falling prey to the charms of a seductive and manipulative individual.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
