| Description |
The comedy of rural life in England. The delightful simplicity of the Devonshire comedy is said to be nothing if not refreshing. The play has proved the biggest comedy success of London since the war, and is still running in its third year. … The characters are richly humorous and the plot an amusing one. The younger men spend most of their time in amorous pursuit of Farmer Sweetland's two daughters, the farmer himself proposes to and is rejected by four ladies in turn, and finally marries his attractive housekeeper. |
