Four compact plays about campus life, ambition, and sharp, witty dialogue.
This collection brings together four plays set in and around a college world where students chase success, grapple with expectations, and face the forces of family and tradition. The scenes crackle with brisk exchanges, sly humor, and earnest ambition, offering a window into youth and authority alike.
The plays explore pressure points like exams, lost work, and the lure of a scholarship, along with the tensions that flare when personal dreams collide with family duties. Tightly plotted and character-driven, they stage moments of decision, doubt, and defiance in a world of social rules and academic stakes.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an early twentieth-century play, explores the collision between tradition and progressivism, subtly exposing the class, gender, and social fissures in Edwardian society. The author, a promising voice of his generation, cleverly employs a series of dialogues to deliver a scathing critique of the hypocrisy and double standards prevalent during the time. Woven around the story of Isabel, a young woman engaged to a doctor, the play delves into the secrets hidden within her family home. As the narrative unfolds, the boundaries of love, truth, and duty are tested, inviting readers to question established norms and societal expectations. Ultimately, this book stands as a provocative and insightful exploration of the complexities of human relationships and the inevitable clashes between the old and the new, leaving readers with thought-provoking reflections on the nature of progress and the challenges we face in embracing it.
