The Country School: An Entertainment in Two Scenes
Produced by Stewart A. Levin
"The Country School: An Entertainment in Two Scenes" by M. R. Orne is a lighthearted play that captures the essence of rural schooling in the late 19th century. This theatrical work presents a humorous depiction of school life, focusing on the interactions between students and their teacher, as well as the antics that ensue in a small country school setting. Through various characters, the book reflects on the idiosyncrasies of children and the challenges faced by educators of the time. The play unfolds in two main scenes, bringing to life the everyday events and lively exchanges among a cast of schoolchildren as they navigate their lessons and mischief. Characters like Seth Crane, who is portrayed as a truant, and the comically named Julius Caesar Smith, alongside imaginative dialogue, create a vivid picture of school dynamics. As the children recite their lessons, misunderstandings and comedic incidents abound, showcasing their innocence and candidness. The play ultimately serves as both a nostalgic reflection on childhood and a humorous commentary on the educational methods of the past, culminating in a lively musical number that engages the audience.
