Mr. Pinero holds that farce should treat of probable people placed in possible circumstances, but regarded from a point of view which exaggerates their sentiments and magnifies their foibles. In this light it is permitted to this class of play, not only to deal with ridiculous incongruities of incident and character, but to satirise society, and to wring laughter from those possible distresses of life which might trace their origin to fallacies of feeling and extravagances of motive. - Summary by Introduction Cast list: Right Honorable Sir Julian Twombley, GCMG, MP : ToddHW Lady Twombley: Sonia Brooke Twombley : Tomas Peter Imogen : Leanne Yau Dowager Lady Countess of Drumdurris: TJ Burns Lady Euphemia Vibart : Devorah Allen Earl of Drumdurris : Scott Kelley Egidia, Countess of Drumdurris: Jael Baldwin Lady Macphail: Beth Thomas Sir Colin Macphail of Ballocheevin : Chuck Williamson Valentine White : Kurt Honorable Mrs. Gaylustre : Craig Franklin The Munkittrick: alanmapstone Miss Munkittrick: Eva Davis Probyn : DrPGould Angele, a French nurse: Sandra Schmit Stage Directions: Larry Wilson Edited by: ToddHW
