The play is set in 17th century London and revolves around the character of Lady Wishfort, a wealthy and vain widow who is determined to marry again. She is courted by two men, Sir Rowland and Mirabell, but both have ulterior motives. Mirabell is in love with Lady Wishfort's niece, Millamant, and needs Lady Wishfort's approval to marry her.
