Stirling Coyne is a comedic play written in the mid-19th century, specifically for performance at the Theatre Royal, Adelphi, in 1847. As a farce, the book explores themes of love, jealousy, and mistaken identities through humorous dialogue and situations. The narrative centers on a tailor, Whittington Widgetts, who faces comedic chaos arising from both his romantic pursuits and his relationships with those around him, particularly his laundress. The storyline unfolds in a tailor's show-room, where Widgetts is preparing for a romantic supper with the fashionable Mademoiselle Cheri Bounce, while simultaneously trying to evade the earnest affections of the laundress Mary White. As miscommunications unravel, Mary concocts a scheme involving a dummy figure dressed as herself, which ultimately leads to a series of misunderstandings and slapstick moments when the villainy of Widgetts is revealed. With a blend of romance and humor, the farce culminates in a playful resolution where love triumphs amidst the chaos, with characters finding happiness despite their comedic antics and misunderstandings.
