About This Book

A three-act rural farce centers on an elderly retired couple whose careful household and frugal routines are unsettled by a young sawmill worker's courtship of a village magistrate's maid. Village gossip, creditors, and the performance of respectability bring artisans, landowners and officials together in scenes that alternate private domestic worry and public festivity. The play balances nostalgia and satire, contrasting thrift and longing with revelry, while escalating misunderstandings about money, marriage and social rank toward comic resolutions that expose provincial pretensions.
