Beschrijving
‘The Plain Dealer’ is a comedy of no manners which attacks the double-dealing codes of Wycherly’s society in all their varied guises; in the supercilious forms and slavish ceremonies of a Lord Plausible, whose empty compliments debase the currency in which true merit should be paid; in the malicious gossip of a school for friends; and even in the perversion of that great plain dealer, justice.
