Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a darkly comedic play written by Frank G. Tompkin. The play follows an upper-class couple, Charles and Clara, as they encounter a cunning and witty thief in their home. As the thief critiques their lack of taste in art and decor, he initiates a series of revelations that force the couple to confront their own superficiality. With themes of art, class, and hypocrisy, this play explores the complexities of human nature and the deceptiveness of social appearances. The humor lies in the audacity of the thief and the uncomfortable dilemmas he places the couple in. The author uses this witty and incisive play to explore the paradoxes of human nature and the ways in which we can be both pretentious and naive.
