(George Melville) Past Redemption: A Drama in Four Acts Produced by David Edwards, Diane Monico, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Past Redemption: A Drama in Four Acts" by George M. Baker is a theatrical play written in the late 19th century. This engaging drama unfolds through the intertwining fates of characters like Harry Maynard, a young man who leaves his pastoral life behind for the city, and Charity Goodall, who seeks to redeem the lost. The story explores themes of ambition, temptation, and the complexities of love, as it delves into the struggles of individuals facing the consequences of their choices. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a barn bustling with activity during a corn husking event, where various characters engage in light banter and flirtation. Among them are Tom Larcom, who is infatuated with Kitty Corum, and Harry Maynard, who is preparing to leave home for the city. The conversation touches on aspirations and relationships, with undertones of rivalry and longing. Meanwhile, Robert Thornton, a wealthy man with questionable intentions, looms in the background, hinting at the darker paths that lay ahead for Harry. As the act progresses, the idyllic atmosphere begins to fray, foreshadowing the challenges and moral dilemmas the characters will encounter as they navigate their fates.
