Summary "A Duel in the Dark: An Original Farce, in One Act" by J. Stirling Coyne is a comedic play written during the mid-19th century, likely around the Victorian era. This farce encapsulates the humorous trials of relationships, mistaken identities, and the sometimes absurd lengths to which individuals will go to test love and fidelity. The plot is centered around the whimsical and chaotic scenario faced by the main character, Mr. Greenfinch, and his wife, who don disguises and engage in a series of comedic misunderstandings. The narrative unfolds as Mr. Greenfinch believes he is on an illicit adventure with the mysterious Countess de Rambuteau, only to discover that his wife, Mrs. Greenfinch, is secretly traveling with him in disguise. As the comedy escalates, their interactions lead to a mock duel that ultimately resolves in frantic hilarity rather than violence, revealing the true nature of their relationship. Greenfinch’s mistaken belief in the enchantment of another woman is humorously contrasted with his genuine affections for his wife, culminating in a delightful exploration of trust and marital fidelity, peppered with witty dialogue and farcical situations.
