Happy At Last Or Sigh No More Ladies: A Comedy In Five Acts is a play written by Henry Summersett and first published in 1805. The play is a comedic exploration of love and marriage in Georgian England. The story revolves around two young couples, each facing their own challenges in relationships. The first couple, Charles and Julia, are newlyweds struggling to find happiness in their marriage due to Charles’ wandering eye. The second couple, Sir Harry and Lady Harriet, have been married for years but are also facing difficulties due to Sir Harry’s infidelity. The play follows the couples as they navigate these challenges and ultimately find happiness in their relationships. Along the way, there are plenty of witty one-liners, mistaken identities, and humorous misunderstandings that keep the audience entertained. Overall, Happy At Last Or Sigh No More Ladies is a charming and lighthearted comedy that provides a glimpse into the social norms and customs of Georgian England.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
