About This Book

A comic one-act farce centers on a concerned father who comes to a bachelor boarding house seeking his runaway son after rumors of a romantic entanglement. Clashes with the proprietor and a motley group of lodgers produce misunderstandings, inflated pride, and vigorous stage business that fuels rapid-fire comic exchanges. Detailed stage directions and costume notes frame domestic set pieces and exaggerated character types, leading to a revealing confrontation that unmasks motives and ends in clarification and reconciliation.
