Time

Regrets Only is set in the present. Paul Rudnick most likely wrote this play in 2006 and the show was preformed in 2007. The play makes alot of references to New York City, fashion and the current president, George W Bush.

Things like fashion week in NYC would be something very important to these characters. Hank is one of the world's most notable fashion designers.

Anti Gay Marriage acts are currently in the works at this time, setting events and topics in this story. The current president is a hard core republican, meaning that he is not for society movement and has a "good ol boy" mindset. Some American's believe that gay marriage is not okay and will hurt society. This play takes this problem head on, showing New yorkers what life would be like it all the homosexuals in the city took the day off.

Gas Prices are reaching an all time high and rising. This effects all working class citizens, but most likely would not effect this family

Since 2001 the US has been at war and many lives have been lost.

Althrough women have come a long way in the world, it is still consided the "norm" to get married and have children. Even if sucessful in a career. Spencer is a high powered lawyer just like her father, but she feels she needs to be married to be fulfilled.

At this time, the US is split in it's viewpoints. The last election for the president was almost 50/50. But the aftermath of the current president, the US is moving towards a liberal viewpoint since the war has not ended and the economy is falling.

Fashion today is a mix of many different cultures and styles, in order to make something old, new. It does not matter what your taste, they is most likely anything you would want in NYC at this time.

With inventions like the iphone (which Spencer uses in the SHSU production) people can have so much at their fingertips. A phone that holds music, notes, photos, video and the internet.

These characters are very wealthy and have alot of access to anything they want, living in NYC and having connections to high powered people. In todays world it really is about who you know.
