Anstey is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Horace Ventimore, a young architect, who inadvertently releases a Jinnee named Fakrash-el-Aamash from an ancient brass bottle. Through this encounter, the narrative weaves themes of magic and farce as Ventimore's life takes an unexpected turn filled with humorous complications and supernatural elements. The opening of the play introduces us to Horace Ventimore's modest living quarters in Westminster. As he prepares for a dinner with his fiancée, Sylvia Futvoye, and her parents, to whom he is keen to impress, we see contrasting perspectives from the Futvoyes about Horace’s aspirations and capabilities as an architect. Their arrival is soon followed by a twist of fate when Horace acquires the brass bottle at an auction, leading to the unexpected appearance of the Jinnee, who offers to grant wishes. This sets the stage for comedic chaos, with Horace caught between charming his guests and dealing with the absurd consequences of his newfound magical association.
