(Joseph Stirling) Coyne, Stirling What will they say at Brompton? A Comedetta, in One Act. Reading ease score: 77.0 (7th grade). Fairly easy to read. Transcribed from the [1858?] Thomas Hailes Lacy edition by David Price "What Will They Say at Brompton? A Comedetta, in One Act" by J. Stirling Coyne is a light-hearted comedic play written in the mid-19th century, likely during the Victorian era. This one-act play revolves around themes of love, mistaken identities, and the humorous predicaments that arise from travel mishaps. The story juxtaposes domestic life with adventures abroad, largely exploring the consequences of social expectations and matrimonial norms. The narrative follows Samuel Todd, who, while preparing for a trip to the Continent with his wife, Laura, finds himself embroiled in a series of comedic misadventures. After a series of misunderstandings, he mistakenly believes he has two wives—his actual wife, Laura, and a peasant girl named Marietta whom he accidentally ends up enamored with during his travels. As he navigates threats from brigands and the mistaken belief of his own infidelity, humor ensues through witty dialogue and absurd situations. Ultimately, Todd's comical journey leads him to a humorous conclusion about love, fidelity, and the absurdities of travel, all while questioning societal perceptions, particularly of what people might think back at their home in Brompton.
