| Summary | "Fanny and the Servant Problem" by Jerome K. Jerome is a play written during the early 20th century. The story revolves around Fanny, a music-hall singer who has just married Lord Bantock, Vernon Wetherell, and the challenges she faces in adapting to her new life among the aristocracy, including her interactions with the household staff, whom she discovers are her own relatives. The opening of the play introduces Fanny on the eve of her arrival at Bantock Hall with her new husband, Vernon. As the scene unfolds in Lady Bantock's boudoir, we see the nervous excitement of Vernon's aunts, the Misses Wetherell, as they prepare for Fanny's arrival, questioning her suitability as a wife due to her profession as an actress. Fanny's subsequent interactions reveal her apprehensions about being accepted in her new role, especially given the fact that her new servants are actually her relatives. The dialogue presents a mix of humor and tension, highlighting the contrasts between her past life and her current status, setting the stage for the dramatic and comedic conflicts that will follow as she navigates this new world.
