What a fun little farce. It reminded me of the works by PG Wodehouse, whom I adore. What made this read even more special to me is that, while I read, it dawned on me that a very old movie my mom and I would watch from time to time is an adaptation of this play. I’ll definitely be rereading this time and again to remember mom and to help get me out of those horrid little reading slumps that sneak up unexpectedly.
Although on the surface this might seem like a silly little play, there is so much social commentary on education, church, society and the law, if you read between the lines and remember the times in which he wrote this and what he was going through. And to be able to infuse humor? The more I think about it, the more my respect for the author grows.
