Moral

Moral: A Comedy In Three Acts is a play written by Ludwig Thoma and originally published in 1916. The play is set in the Bavarian countryside and revolves around the character of Moral, a simple-minded farmer who is constantly getting into trouble due to his lack of intelligence. The play begins with Moral being accused of stealing a neighbor's pig, but it soon becomes clear that he is innocent and that the real thief is someone else entirely.As the play unfolds, Moral finds himself caught up in a series of increasingly absurd situations, including a run-in with the local constable, a failed attempt to court a young woman, and a hilarious encounter with a traveling salesman. Throughout it all, Moral remains steadfastly optimistic and good-natured, even in the face of adversity.Thoma's play is a classic example of Bavarian humor, with its emphasis on slapstick comedy, wordplay, and colorful characters. It also touches on deeper themes of justice, morality, and the nature of truth, making it a work that is both entertaining and thought-provoking. Overall, Moral: A Comedy In Three Acts is a delightful and timeless piece of theater that continues to be performed and enjoyed by audiences around the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
