| Summary | "Bird's Nest, a fantasy in one act by Tracy D. Mygatt" is a one-act play written in the early 20th century, specifically around the early 1920s. The play centers on themes of love, relationships, and the haunting echoes of the past as it explores the juxtaposition of romantic idealism against the reality of life's barriers. Set in a garden outside a cottage, the setting evokes a whimsical yet eerie atmosphere fitting for the fantasy genre. In "Bird's Nest," the narrative unfolds on the night before the wedding of George Sanford, a bridegroom excitedly anticipating his marriage to Mrs. McCormorant. Accompanied by his man Martin, the moonlit night draws out an interplay of sentiments as they reminisce about the cottage known as Bird's Nest, built for lovers. However, as the newly married couple, Lydia and Richard, enter the scene, they find themselves entangled in their own romantic journey while confronting the implications of Sanford's impending nuptials. Amid ghostly references and whimsical dialogues, the play deftly navigates the tensions between old love and new beginnings, culminating in a bittersweet realization about love's enduring power over life and death. As the clock strikes, themes of fate and destiny culminate in a poignant conclusion that leaves the audience contemplating the nature of love and the mysteries of the past.
