About This Book

A two-act domestic comedy that centers on a conservative, authoritarian father who clashes with his son over the youth's wish to pursue studies instead of joining the family business. The mother takes a sympathetic stance while neighbors and acquaintances offer advice that complicates loyalties. Through everyday scenes and comic exchanges among a broad ensemble, the play examines generational tension, parental authority, and social expectations, using satire of bourgeois manners alongside warm observation of family life on stage.
