The Bath Comedy is a sparkling Victorian satire set in the spa town of Bath, where wit, romance, and social games mix in a high-spirited mix of rivalries and alliances.
The narrative follows sharp-tongued Mistress Kitty Bellairs and the heartache of Lady Standish as they navigate marriage, flirtation, and the ever-shifting mood of Bath society.
