Summary "The Red Light of Mars; or, A Day in the Life of the Devil" by George Bronson-Howard is a philosophical comedy written in the early 20th century. The work explores profound themes through sharp dialogue and character interactions, likely following the lives of scientific and social figures as they navigate ambition, love, and morality. The lead character, Thomas Vanillity, is introduced as a college professor, setting the stage for an exploration of the clash between scientific discovery and societal expectations. The opening of the play establishes a sunny winter morning in the study of Dr. Addington Agnus, an ambitious scientist on the brink of a significant discovery. As characters such as Judge Hippolyte Critty and Professor Vanillity enter, the narrative builds around Agnus's forthcoming meeting with potential corporate benefactors, John Magnus and William Tromper, who intend to lure him away from his true scientific pursuits for financial gain. The conversation reveals tensions surrounding the temptation of wealth and the sacrifices of personal principles, highlighting the overarching conflict between material ambition and the pursuit of genuine knowledge or love as Fanny, the daughter of Mrs. Felix, enters bearing her own aspirations intertwined with those of Agnus. This tension is further intensified as Agnus grapples with the implications of accepting the offer that threatens to derail his quest for immortality through scientific exploration.
