Restoration Comedy
A new type of comedy is being popularized by leading playwrights. Sexually explicit language is encouraged, and the plays refrain from criticism on the topics of gambling, drink, and love, with an intended shock value. The comedies seem to attract a diverse audience, including aristocrats and their servants, who are intrigued by the last-minute rewrites, bustling plots, celebrity actors, and the very first inclusion of professional actresses.

19985historical_info = flavor_eng.196.historical_info Restoration Comedy is a genre of English drama that first appeared during the period known as the English Restoration. The plays are characterized by their sharp wit, humor, and satirical elements. Following the puritan regime of Oliver Cromwell, which had led to the closure of theaters, a significant shift in English society and culture gradually altered public attitudes and perspectives on moral issues.
