"Vandyke Brown: A Farce in One Act" by Adolphus Charles Troughton is a comedic play likely written in the mid-19th century, around the Victorian era. This farce centers on misunderstandings and mistaken identities involving the titular character, Vandyke Brown, a photographic artist recently returned from abroad, who finds himself in a chaotic situation with multiple characters entangled in romantic misadventures and marital disputes. The play highlights themes of jealousy, loyalty, and the intricacies of relationships. The storyline unfolds in Mr. Bobbins’s lodgings, where Vandyke Brown surprises his wife, Mrs. Brown, after a long absence. However, complications arise as Mr. Bobbins has been entertaining Mrs. Brown under a false identity, leading to a series of humorous exchanges and chaotic confrontations. Other characters, such as the law student Mr. Fastman and the servant Rebecca, add to the confusion as relationships are revealed, suspicions are cast, and romantic rivalries surface. Ultimately, misunderstandings lead to comedic resolutions, shedding light on the folly of jealousies and the tangled webs spun by love and deception. The play concludes with revelations that clarify the relationships, resulting in a light-hearted resolution that emphasizes the absurdity of the entangled circumstances.
