About This Book

A three-act comedic play centers on a quarrelsome married couple and a prank that turns the husband into an impostor practitioner, whose assumed role triggers a chain of farcical deceptions, mistaken identities, and satirical commentary on marriage, social pretensions, and the medical profession, while suitors, parents, and household staff maneuver to influence a young woman's fate.
