It was a period piece. The small size of the theater space contributed to the period feeling.

I actually saw a production of Lovers’ Vows in Washington, DC, in 2019. It was great fun to see the play that had such a pivotal role in Mansfield Park.

How cool to see a staged production! Was it a period piece or did they modernize it at all?

Such a great episode. It brought out all the nuances of the play and how the characters interact with it!
