Twice Killed: A Farce in One Act

A brisk one-act farce stages a series of comic misunderstandings and romantic scheming set largely by a riverside. A would-be lover resorts to elaborate disguises, false names, and bold stratagems while an accomplice manages a conspicuous hamper intended as a gift, producing mistaken identities, slapstick mishaps, and encounters with authorities. Rapid entrances, confusions over letters and lodging, and playful social satire drive the action to a tidy, humorous reconciliation. The piece relies on fast-paced dialogue, physical comedy, and conventional farcical devices to produce lighthearted entertainment.
