Oh! Susannah!
A Farcical Comedy in Three Acts
Produced by David Widger
"Oh! Susannah!" by Mark Ambient is a play written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds in a doctor's consulting room in Pimlico, where a series of humorous misunderstandings and romantic entanglements emerge. The story primarily revolves around the character of Doctor Sheppard, who has just secretly married his beloved Flo and is unexpectedly confronted with a visit from his maiden aunt, Aunt Susannah, amidst the arrival of various female characters who bring their own desires and intentions into the fray. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Aurora, the doctor's servant, who is lovingly preparing for his return while secretly harboring her own feelings for him. The scene is set with a comedic tone as a conversation between Aurora and Tupper, the page, unfolds—revealing the doctor's supposed fortunes, the pressure of patient expectations, and the absurdity of the chaotic household. As the doctor arrives and prepares for unexpected visitors, the themes of mistaken identity, the pressures of romantic expectations, and the farcical nature of social conventions are cleverly set in motion, hinting at the comedic entanglements to follow.
