Item description from seller

Print on Demand. Step into a world of witty repartee and social satire in this captivating play set against the backdrop of 1930s London. The story unfolds in the elegant living room of Mrs. Tower, a woman constantly redecorating to mask her inner anxieties. When her ex-husband, the renowned author William Tower, returns from Africa, their already complex dynamic is further complicated by the arrival of Mrs. Tower's sister-in-law, Jane Fowler. Jane, a seemingly dowdy and provincial widow, announces her impending marriage to a much younger man, Gilbert Dabney. This news throws the household into disarray, with Mrs. Tower convinced Gilbert is only after Jane's fortune. As the family grapples with this unexpected development, the acerbic Lord Frobisher, a powerful newspaper magnate with a penchant for actresses, adds fuel to the fire with his cynical observations and biting humor. Through sharp dialogue and insightful character portrayals, the author explores themes of love, marriage, social class, and the ever-shifting landscape of pre-war Britain. The play delves into the complexities of human relationships, exposing the hidden motivations and desires that lie beneath the surface of polite society. Ultimately, it leaves us pondering the true nature of happiness and the choices we make in pursuit of it. 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. …
