Subtitled The Mistakes of a Night, the play is a lighthearted farce that derives its charm from the misunderstandings which entangle the well-drawn characters. Mr. Hardcastle plans to marry his forthright daughter Kate to bashful Marlow, the son of his friend Sir Charles Marlow. Mrs. Hardcastle wants her recalcitrant son Tony Lumpkin to marry her ward Constance Neville, who is in love with Marlow's friend Hastings. Humorous mishaps occur when Tony dupes Marlow and Hastings into believing that Mr. Hardcastle's home is an inn. By posing as a servant, Kate wins the heart of Marlow, who is uncomfortable in the company of wellborn women but is flirtatious with barmaids. Through various deceptions, Tony releases himself from his mother's clutches and unites Constance with Hastings.

The playboy of the western world ; and, Riders to the sea / John M. Synge

Public ISBD Titre : The playboy of the western world ; and, Riders to the sea Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : John M. Synge, Auteur Editeur : New York : Dover Publications Année de publication : 1993 Collection : Dover thrift editions Importance : VIII-72 p Format : 21 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-486-27562-8 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : Ireland-Drama Résumé : The plays of John Millington Synge (1871-1909) are filled with the humors, sorrows and dreams of the country folk of the Aran Islands and the western Irish coastlands, where, in Synge's words, 'we have a popular imagination that is fiery and magnificent and tender'. The Playboy of the Western World, his most famous play, is sweetly funny and ironic as it follows its young hero's progress, in the eyes of others, from timid weakling to paragon of bravery. The shorter one-act play, Riders to the Sea, is a dark elegy to the fragile existence of those who live at the mercy of the sea. Both are beautifully crafted dramas that celebrate Irish gifts for lyrical language. They are reprinted here from authoritative editions, complete with Synge's preface to The Playboy of the Western World.

The school for scandal / Richard Brinsley Sheridan

Public ISBD Titre : The school for scandal Type de document : texte imprimé Auteurs : Richard Brinsley Sheridan, Auteur Editeur : New York : Dover Publications Année de publication : 1991 Collection : Dover thrift editions Importance : xiv-78 p. Présentation : ill. Format : 21 cm. ISBN/ISSN/EAN : 978-0-486-26687-9 Langues : Anglais Catégories : LITTERATURE ET LANGUE ANGLAISE:828 English literature Mots-clés : English novel-comedies Résumé : he intrigues of such aptly named characters as Lady Sneerwell, Sir Joseph Surface, Lady Candour, and Sir Benjamin Backbite have amused theater audiences for more than two centuries. They are the invention of the Irish-born playwright Richard Brinsley Sheridan, and they unfold, collide, and backfire hilariously in his masterpiece, The School for Scandal, a play still considered by many the best comedy of manners in English. It is a comedy with two plots, one involving Sir Oliver Surface's attempts to discover the worthier of his two nephews, and the other unleashing Lady Sneerwell's strategies to ensnare both nephews and the hapless Lady Teazle in her designs. Both plots converge brilliantly in the screen scene -- one of the most famous in all of theater. The School for Scandal reveals not only Sheridan's mastery of the mechanics of stage comedy, but also his flair for witty dialogue and obvious delight in skewering the affectation and pretentiousness of aristocratic Londoners of the 1770s. Its evergreen appeal makes it one of the most produced of all theater classics today, and one of the most delightful to read.
