Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an almost entirely complete version of one of the most famous plays of the English stage, âCupboard Loveâ. The text is a late seventeenth-century comedy by the author and includes stage directions, dramatis personae, and character descriptions. The play, written in 1789, is set in 18th century London and follows an encounter between Lady Charteris, a fashionable society lady from the period, and the actress Kitty Bellairs. The work also explores what was considered to be improper behaviour â" frequenting taverns and drinking or gamblingâ" as well as adultery. The ideas and situations found within the play are highly representative of the comedic style of the time. Much like the great Restoration comedies, the story pokes fun at high society and the aristocracy. It is not only an interesting read but can also be seen as a valuable resource for historians interested in the period, theatrical scholars, and fans of the dramatic arts. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.

It is a book about secrets, both personal and familial, and about the power of storytelling to traverse generations.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, a witty and spirited comedy in one act, follows the misadventures of Mrs. Hillary Digby, a wealthy and eccentric lady who is obsessed with her pet dog, Birdie. Set in a boarding house in Bayswater, London, the play unfolds as Mrs. Digby's relentless demands for Birdie's comfort and well-being clash with the sensibilities of her fellow boarders. The author uses this premise to explore themes of social hierarchy, the absurdity of upper-class affectations, and the lengths to which people will go for their beloved pets. Through a series of hilarious misunderstandings and sharp observations, this book provides a lighthearted and entertaining critique of society's obsession with status and appearances.
