Aprašymas

After isolating during a global pandemic, Singapore's wealthy elite make up for lost time, bedding other people's partners and swindling one another out of dynastic fortunes. Edward wants to marry Millicent but needs Arabella's help to convince Lady Helena to approve of the marriage. But Arabella is in love with Edward and needs her best friend Devan's help to sabotage the engagement. And Lady Helena hates Edward, attempting instead to make a match between Millicent and closeted cousin William (who is in love with Devan). Behind all this romantic cloak and dagger is another struggle over inheritance and financial power. And behind that, a whole structure of unseen labour that makes all the scheming possible.

Inspired by William Congreve's The Way of the World and Kevin Kwan's Crazy Rich Asians, The Tao of the World is a Restoration comedy for modern times, a hilarious, bawdy romp that asks what it means for things to return to normal.

Minimum of 10 actors with doubling
