No, not the famous “Of Mice and Men” you’re thinking of. Instead, we have a sweet romantic comedy that tells the story of a bachelor, Mr. Embury, who decides to conduct an experiment to see if he can create the perfect wife for himself. To do so, he chooses an orphaned girl named Peggy to become his ward and ultimately his wife. Peggy, however, thinks that Mr. Embury has plans for her to become the wife of his nephew, Captain Lovell, whom she believes is in love with another woman . A critic who was not fond of sentimental stories called this play a fairy story with a sincere spirit and one they could actually believe in. - Summary by Jenn BrodaCast list: Mark Embury : Adrian Stephens Roger Goodlake : Greg Giordano Captain George Lovell : Krista Zaleski Sir Harry Trimblestone: Alan Mapstone Kit Barniger : ToddHW Peter : David Purdy Joanna Goodlake : Nissy Mrs. Deborah : Joanna Michal Hoyt Peggy : Jenn Broda Matron : Belinda Loveday Beadle : Wayne Cooke Molly : Lynette Caulkins Girl: tinab37 2nd Girl: Kelly S.
