The Female Gamester: A Tragedy
Produced by Oliver Walden, and David Widger
"The Female Gamester: A Tragedy" by Gorges Edmond Howard is a dramatic work written in the early 19th century. The play delves into the destructive effects of gambling on both individual lives and social morals, centering around the character of Mrs. Andrews, who succumbs to the vice of gaming, resulting in tragic consequences for her family and associates. The opening of the play introduces the dire situation of Mr. Andrews and his household as they grapple with the implications of Mrs. Andrews's gambling habits. The discussion between the steward Thomas and the maid Maria reveals growing concerns about the family's financial ruin and the once virtuous nature of Mrs. Andrews, now corrupted by her obsession with gambling. Mr. Andrews, although unaware of the full extent of his wife's transgressions, is increasingly troubled by her behavior and its impact on their family. As the narrative unfolds, it sets the stage for themes of betrayal, the struggle between virtue and vice, and the clash between social appearances and inner turmoil.
