A Rough Diamond: A Comic Drama in One Act

"A Rough Diamond: A Comic Drama in One Act" by John Baldwin Buckstone is a funny play that shows how people from different social classes interacted, possibly back in Victorian times. The story centers on Sir William Evergreen and his not-so-fancy wife, Lady Evergreen, or Margery as she's called, and how they try to navigate high society, which leads to some funny and touching moments. The play takes place at their country home, where Sir William is trying to teach Margery how to act like a proper lady and fit in. But Margery's down-to-earth personality keeps getting in the way, causing all sorts of chaos as she tries to find her place in a world that doesn't quite feel like home. The play explores what it means to be true to yourself and suggests that being happy means embracing who you are instead of trying to be someone else just to please society.
