The Game of Love is a musical in English, based on the German plays Anatol and Anatols Größenwahn ("Anatol's megalomania") by Austrian playwright Arthur Schnitzler. It is set in late 19th century Vienna, and chronicles the many shallow and immature relationships of bourgeois playboy Anatol. The musical is based on the translation of the play by Tom Jones. The lyrics are written by Jones, and the music is by Jacques Offenbach, with musical arrangements and additional music by Nancy Ford.
