The self-important amoral elite will never go away. That’s what makes William Congreve’s Restoration Era classic The Way of the World perfect for updating into modern day Los Angeles. Adapted and directed by Colleen Reilly, this sharp-tongued satire exchanges puffy vests for Armani jackets while "nobles" cheat, manipulate and lie to win a family fortune and get away with sexual deviancy. Surprisingly, in the midst of all this depravity, two young people fall in love. But, when everyone around them is looking out for themselves, how can the young lovers trust that those feelings are authentic?
