Baker" is a comedic play likely written in the late 19th century. This farce revolves around the misunderstandings and humorous situations that arise from parental concern over youthful romantic entanglements. The story captures the essence of farcical theatre, employing mistaken identities and witty dialogue to entertain the audience. The plot centers on Ebenezer Crotchet, a reticent father, who is determined to confront his son Horace about an alarming anonymous note suggesting that Horace has developed a "tender attachment" in a place called "Bachelors' Paradise," where he has been staying. As Ebenezer investigates this alleged relationship, he inadvertently engages with a cast of eccentric characters—including a tinker, a soldier, a sailor, and a tailor—who inadvertently complicate matters further. The farce unfolds with a mix of confusion and comedy as the true nature of Horace's activities is revealed, ultimately leading to a heartwarming resolution that bridges the generational gap between father and son.
