Wanted—A Match Maker

A lively portrait of a well‑to‑do young woman whose charms and fortunes have both dazzled and frustrated those around her. Constance, at twenty‑three, commands the attention of every gentleman in town, yet she rebuffs each suitor with a haughty grace that leaves her family both exasperated and bewildered. Her mother, Mrs. Durant, confides in a close friend about the paradox of a daughter who seems to relish the chase, while fearing that her wealth will forever keep her from genuine affection.

The story unfolds through witty dialogue and sharp observations, exposing the pressures of high society and the tender, if sometimes misguided, attempts at matchmaking. As friends plot gentle interventions, listeners are drawn into a world where love, money, and family expectations collide, all while the spirited banter keeps the tone light and engaging. The first act sets the stage for a charming comedy of manners that promises both humor and heartfelt moments.
