Rea (Hannah Rea) 1870 Woodman, Hannah Rea Woodman, Rea The Sweet Girl Graduates: A Farce in Three Acts and an Epilogue Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Sweet Girl Graduates: A Farce in Three Acts and an Epilogue" by H. Rea Woodman is a lively comedic play written in the early 20th century. This farce centers around the preparations and anxieties leading up to a graduation ceremony, specifically following the character Maude De Smythe, the "sweet girl" about to graduate from high school. The story humorously explores themes of societal expectations, family dynamics, and the pressures of youth, all set against a backdrop that encapsulates the spirit of the time. In the play, we witness Maude's frantic preparations for her graduation, which are further complicated by the antics and worries of her family and friends. Her overbearing mother, Mrs. De Smythe, shows signs of nervousness; her dressmaker, Madam Sateene, frets over the right look, while her father, Mr. De Smythe, attempts to maintain order amidst the chaos. Friends like Valeria and Jack Hamilton come to help or tease, contributing to the lively atmosphere. As Maude struggles with her part in the graduation ceremony, including a speech full of profound yet humorous reflections on life, the interactions among the characters reveal deeper themes of love, friendship, and personal growth, culminating in a celebration of youth that is both chaotic and endearing. Through witty dialogue and engaging scenarios, Woodman crafts a delightful portrait of life’s trivial yet heartfelt moments leading up to a significant milestone.
