The noble lord : $b a comedy in one act
Produced by William Coon
"The Noble Lord: A Comedy in One Act" by Percival Wilde is a theatrical play written during the early 20th century. This piece belongs to the comedy genre and its likely topic revolves around misunderstandings and romantic entanglements in an amusing and lighthearted scenario. The setting is a secluded spot in the woods near a summer hotel, providing a picturesque backdrop for the unfolding drama. The play centers on an Englishman, who rescues a young woman from drowning in a lake. After her dramatic rescue, a mix-up occurs as she believes he is her mother due to her confusion from the incident. The comedic tension rises as the two characters flirt while navigating the unexpected revelation that he is not the noble lord she assumes him to be, but rather his valet. The woman is initially enamored with her supposed hero, while the man enjoys the playful antics of their miscommunication. As the play progresses, their flirtation becomes more complex, culminating in a humorous exchange that highlights class distinctions and romantic possibilities. The entrance of another character, the valet's friend, foreshadows further comedic developments, leaving room for the imagination as to what might transpire next.
