Drawing Rooms, Second Floor, and Attics: A Farce, in One Act

"Drawing Rooms, Second Floor, and Attics: A Farce, in One Act" by John Maddison Morton is a funny play from Victorian times, full of mix-ups and goofy characters. It probably pokes fun at how people acted in society and in love back then. The story follows Triptolemus Brown, a young chemist, as he gets into crazy situations in London with his uncle and some girls he might marry. He has to run from an angry sailor, even dressing up in women's clothes to hide, and deals with a very wild party where he tries to win over Phoebe Furbelow, his crush, while avoiding trouble with his family. With characters like Mr. Bunny and Captain Hardaport adding to the chaos, the play ends in a silly reveal of who Triptolemus really is, promising laughs for anyone who enjoys light, funny stories.
