About This Book
Set in a fashionable tailor’s show-room, this one-act farce follows a vain tailor who prepares a private supper for an opera dancer while managing a bumbling page and arranging clothes and provisions. Domestic and professional spheres collide when the laundress arrives to collect garments and routine errands trigger a cascade of interruptions, misunderstandings, and rapid entrances and exits. The action depends on visual costume changes, precise stage business, and situational comedy to produce farcical confusion while gently exposing social pretensions and class contrasts in a compact, briskly paced structure.
