Synopsis
A witty family comedy about marriage, manners, and the pull between duty and desire.
A good-natured but principled husband and a restless bachelor brother collide with a stern moral center, turning a quiet Norwood drawing-room into a stage for sly conversations, slippery loyalties, and sharp one-liners.
Set in the drawing-room of the James Wetherbys, the play follows a year of tensions between two brothers, their spouses, and a steadfast aunt. As alliances shift, the characters navigate loyalty, hypocrisy, and the costs of “proper” behavior, all with a light touch and a revealing clash of viewpoints.- A clash of character: the amiable James versus Richard’s impulsive libertinism
- Family dynamics in a late-Victorian setting, with jokes that bite and charm
- Witty exchanges about marriage, virtue, and the price of appearances
- A domestic comedy that explores how far love and principle can coexist
