None so Deaf As Those Who Won't Hear: A Comedietta in One Act

"None so Deaf As Those Who Won't Hear: A Comedietta in One Act" by Herbert Pelham Curtis is a funny short play that shows what happens when people can't or won't listen to each other. A daughter, Eglantine, wants to find love, but her deaf father, Singleton, keeps scaring away anyone who might be interested. The play is set in a regular living room from long ago, and it shows how people acted and talked back then. When a young man named Washington arrives, things get super mixed up because he may have hearing issues, too! Misunderstandings pile up, leading to funny moments and surprising discoveries about love, marriage, and how crazy things can get when no one is really listening. The play reminds us that it's important to really hear what others are saying, especially when it comes to matters of the heart.
