A quiet crescent in Edwardian London hums with secrets and suppressed laughter, where every knock at a door might spark a scandal or a romance. The air is thick with anticipation as neighbours peer from behind lace curtains, their lives woven together by chance, curiosity, and the unspoken rules of polite society. Here, wit and whimsy collide in a setting that captures the very spirit of the English stage comedy, inviting audiences to witness the delightful intricacies of early 20th century drama.Within this period comedy script, the rhythms of daily life are transformed into a theatrical dance-misunderstandings and mistaken identities unfold against a backdrop of genteel facades and hidden passions. The play’s London stage setting becomes almost a character itself, conjuring an atmosphere both intimate and grand, where every exchange is sharpened by the social expectations of the Edwardian era. Lovers, dreamers, and busybodies all find their place in a narrative that balances romantic comedy drama with the sharp observations characteristic of British theatre scripts from this period.The enduring appeal of this comedic stage performance lies in its ability to capture both the folly and the earnestness of human nature. Audiences and readers are treated to a tapestry of personalities, each with their own ambitions and foibles, set against the precise manners and subtle tensions of an age now vanished but still recognisable. The script’s deft interplay of humour and heart ensures its place among classic British plays, offering a reading experience as engaging as a night at a bustling London theatrical playhouse.This book was out of print for decades and is now republished by Alpha Editions. It has been restored for today’s and future generations. This edition is not just a reprint - it’s a collector’s item and a cultural treasure. Whether you are drawn by the elegance of Edwardian era theatre or the enduring charm of a well-crafted romantic comedy, this work stands as a testament to the wit and warmth of a bygone stage.

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

  • The Lady From Maxim’s
    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
