The Restoration Comedy Project aims to provide a database of all the comedies, farces, burlesques and drolls, as well as some tragicomedies in which comedy has a significant part, written in the Restoration period.

The database will offer a plot summary of each play, as well as full details on author, title, subtitle, date of performance, cast, and descriptions of prologue, epilogue, stage directions, and allusions to contemporary events. Over one hundred comedies (those listed in boldface) have already been catalogued.

The data of several plays have been included as a sample of the work in progress. To view the samples, click on the titles underlined.
