The Mouse Trap Farce is a comedic play written by William Dean Howells and first published in 1894. The story revolves around a group of characters who are all staying in a boarding house, owned by Mrs. Gubbins. The play begins with the arrival of a new boarder, Mr. and Mrs. Nash, who are immediately suspicious of their fellow boarders. They believe that someone is stealing their cheese and set up a trap to catch the culprit. However, their plan goes awry when the other boarders, including a young couple, a professor, and a spinster, all become entangled in the trap. Chaos ensues as they try to extricate themselves from the situation and avoid being caught by Mrs. Gubbins. The play is a satire on the middle-class values of the time and pokes fun at the absurdity of their obsession with propriety and social status. It is a light-hearted and entertaining read that will appeal to fans of classic comedy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
