Summary "Single Life: A Comedy, in Three Acts" by John Baldwin Buckstone is a comedic drama likely written in the early 19th century. This three-act play explores the humorous complexities and social nuances of single life, prominently featuring a cast of unforgettable characters, including Mr. John Niggle and Miss Snare. It aims to provide a witty portrayal of bachelorhood and the societal pressures surrounding marriage and relationships during that era. The opening of the play introduces Mr. John Niggle, the fluctuating bachelor, as he navigates visits from various characters, including Miss Snare, a meddling old maid, and Mr. David Damper, a marriage-averse friend who is determined to keep Niggle single. As tensions rise among the characters, they discuss the shortcomings of bachelor life, relationship dynamics, and the uncomplicated joys of being unmarried, while simultaneously revealing their romantic intentions. Amidst the banter and exchanges, a sense of urgency unfolds, particularly with Niggle's wavering desire for companionship, showcasing the comedic twists and misunderstandings surrounding courtship and the pursuit of love.
