They just did this at my university and It's a comedy of manners. I'm not sure if I would say it's necessarily "timeless" like Shakespeare because everything in it is tied to the socio-economic circumstances of the time it was written.
You might be able to take it into another time period but you'd have to have really strong justification for your choices since a lot of the humor is the social decorum of that day (1700s) and might not make sense in other time periods. I would just say research and read it more and make really specific justified choices whatever you do.
Hope that helped.
Don't you wanna be the life of the party?
