The Profligate is a play written by Arthur Wing Pinero, originally published in 1891. The play is divided into four acts and tells the story of a young man named Leonard Charteris, who is notorious for his wild and reckless behavior. Despite his reputation, Leonard is engaged to a wealthy and respectable woman named Grace Tranfield. However, when he meets a beautiful and mysterious woman named Paula Tanqueray, Leonard’s life is turned upside down. Paula has a scandalous past and her presence causes Leonard to question his own values and morals. As the play unfolds, Leonard must choose between his love for Paula and his commitment to Grace, leading to a dramatic and unexpected conclusion. The Profligate is a complex exploration of love, morality, and societal expectations, and is considered one of Pinero’s most significant works.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
