Wishfort’s daughter and co-conspirator with Mirabell is Mrs. Fainall (Rachel E. Flynn ’09), whose husband is having an affair with Mrs. Marwood (Sophie C. Kargman ’08), a woman who is trying to thwart Mirabell. Wishfort wants Millament to marry Sir Willful Witwoud (Rob D. Salas ’08), a loud and crass gentryman from the countryside, whose brother (Barry A. Shafrin ’09) lives in the city and has become a full-time fop who helps Mirabell with his schemes. Got all that...

...First thing you notice about a guy/girl: Are you 18? No? OK, then could I get you to sign this? Your best pick-up line: Hi! I’m Silas. Best or worst lie you’ve ever told: I never laid a hand on your daughter, sir. Something you’ve always wanted to tell someone: Remember that time I told you I never touched your daughter? Well, I didn’t. I had sex with your wife. Favorite childhood toy: Maggie Sullivan, my next-door neighbor. Sexiest physical trait: My tiny penis. It?...
