When Does the Second Stageplay "The Age of Innocence" (2018) Take Place?

"The Age of Innocence" is a historical fiction romance stageplay written by Douglas McGrath [adapting "The Age of Innocence" (1920) by Edith Wharton] that released April 5th, 2018. So when is "The Age of Innocence" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1864 AD 


We know this because Newland Archer and Countess Ellen Olenska sing Stephen Foster’s song "Beautiful Dreamer" (1864), which released in March of 1864 AD in the real world. The works is new to both of them, strongly implying it is March of 1864 AD t this early point in the story.
