"The Lucky Man" by Monsieur Baron is a play adapted from the French by Frank J. Morlock, likely written in the late 20th century. Set in 1687 London, it explores themes of love, fidelity, and deception, centering around the character of Cadwell, a charming yet untrustworthy man entangled in multiple romantic pursuits. At the start of the play, we are introduced to a complex web of relationships involving Cadwell, Laura, and several other women who are all vying for his attention. Laura, a widow, is in conflict over her feelings for Cadwell and is being urged by her friends Olivia and Jenny to recognize his faults. Meanwhile, various characters plot to expose Cadwell’s true nature, showcasing both his charm and his tendency to manipulate those around him. The opening establishes tension and intrigue as the characters navigate love, jealousy, and the societal pressures of their time, hinting at comedic outcomes as the story unfolds.
