The brand new play The Tao of the World by Jovanni Sy is having its world premiere this summer at the Stratford Festival! Inspired by William Congreve’s The Way of the World and Kevin Kwan’s Crazy Rich Asians, The Tao of the World is a Restoration comedy for modern times, a hilarious, bawdy romp that asks what it means for things to return to normal. The Tao of the World looks at love, class differences, queer identities, and power.
