"Please Pass the Cream: A Comedy" by Charles Nevers Holmes is a humorous play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the everyday life of a married couple, Mr. and Mrs. Clark, highlighting their domestic squabbles and the contrasting personalities that create comical tension. The central theme of the play revolves around the couple's lighthearted bickering over trivial matters, deeply infused with dialogue showcasing their misunderstandings and differing social perspectives. The play unfolds during a breakfast scene where Mrs. Clark criticizes her husband for his poor grammar and table manners, while Mr. Clark playfully defends his habits, insisting that the cream pitcher holds milk, not cream. This comedic argument escalates into absurd levels, featuring Mr. Clark's stubbornness and Mrs. Clark's insistence on social proprieties. Their banter culminates in a chaotic series of misunderstandings that comically reflect the dynamics of their relationship, ultimately ending with Mrs. Clark regretting the destruction of a cherished cream pitcher. The dialogue-driven format provides a light and entertaining look at the challenges and quirks of marital life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
