"Wanted, a Young Lady" : A Farce, in One Act by William E. Suter is a comedic play written during the Victorian era. This one-act farce centers around the misunderstandings and lively interactions that arise when a young man disguises himself as his brother to manipulate his elderly grandparents for financial gain. The storyline unfolds in an old country mansion, where Frank, the younger brother, has returned home under the guise of his older brother, Harry, who is portrayed as a ne'er-do-well. Frank's plan goes awry as he meets Adelaide, a woman sent to serve as a companion for their grandparents. Miscommunication and farcical situations escalate when Frank dresses as an old lady to deceive both Adelaide and their grandparents. Ultimately, the mix-ups and mistaken identities lead to humorous revelations and romantic twists, suggesting that love and deception can lead to unexpected outcomes. The play explores themes of identity, familial relationships, and the follies of young love, all while keeping an entertaining and light-hearted tone. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
