About this title

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

Ideal for readers who enjoy brisk dialogue, social comedy, and character-driven humor in a British stage tradition.
