Summary "Woodcock's Little Game: A Comedy-Farce, In Two Acts" by John Maddison Morton is a comedic play written during the Victorian era, specifically in the mid-19th century. This theatrical piece explores the humorous chaos that ensues after the marriage of the protagonist, Mr. Woodcock, as he navigates the expectations of his new role while dealing with the meddling of family and friends. The topic deals primarily with relationships, misunderstandings, and the consequences of one’s past, all wrapped in a lighthearted farcical narrative. Set against the backdrop of Woodcock's wedding, the story unfolds as he blissfully enters marriage, only to discover that his mother-in-law and other characters have different expectations for his future. Mr. Woodcock, a character with a wild past, finds himself caught in a web of deception and misunderstandings as he tries to assert his new identity while his friends conspire to maintain appearances. The comedic elements are heightened by mistaken identities, romantic entanglements, and humorous dialogue, ultimately leading to a resolution that keeps the light-hearted spirit intact. The play is a delightful mix of witty repartee and physical comedy that reflects the intricacies of marital relationships and the societal norms of the period.
