Synopsis

""The Man of Mode"" or ""Sir Fopling Flutter"" is a comedy play written by George Etherege and first performed in 1676 at the Duke's Theater in London. The play follows the story of Dorimant, a fashionable and charming man who spends his days pursuing women and engaging in witty banter with his friends. Dorimant's main love interest is Harriet, a virtuous woman who is engaged to another man. However, Dorimant's pursuit of Harriet is complicated by the arrival of Sir Fopling Flutter, a ridiculous and pretentious dandy who also has his sights set on Harriet. The play explores themes of love, deception, and social status, and is known for its witty dialogue and satirical portrayal of fashionable society in 17th century England.
