Synopsis
A brisk, village-set drama about a labourer’s hard luck and the choices that test loyalty and pride. Set among farmers, a scheming squire, and a determined young woman, it blends conflict, romance, and moments of warmth with lively stage humor.
This edition presents a period farce where debt, social status, and family means collide with personal courage. The action moves from a cottage to an alehouse and a manor house, weaving between tense confrontations and lighter, music-filled interludes.
- A grounding in rural life and class tensions
- Romantic threads and personal loyalties tested
- Dramatic confrontations balanced with humor and song
- A vivid sense of turn‑of‑the‑century stagecraft and atmosphere
Ideal for readers who enjoy classic stage works, character-driven plots, and period comedies with heart.
