Summary "Answering the Phone: A Farce" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a comedic play written in the early 20th century. This light-hearted farce revolves around the misunderstandings and misadventures that arise from a simple miscommunication regarding telephone etiquette in a home setting. The play captures the humorous elements of everyday life and the character dynamics that emerge in a domestic environment. The plot follows Mrs. Courtney and her daughter, Miss Eleanora Courtney, who leave their home with specific instructions for their new maid, Nora Flanagan, regarding how to handle phone calls while they are away. Nora, however, struggles to understand the purpose and function of the telephone, leading to a series of comical miscommunications. As Nora interacts with callers, she unwittingly engages with Miss Courtney's intended suitor, Reginald, resulting in a chaotic yet amusing mix-up. The play cleverly highlights themes of social class and communication while delivering a delightful commentary on early 20th-century domestic life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
