Bag om The Magistrate the Magistrate

The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts is a comedic play written by Arthur Wing Pinero and first published in 1914. The play is set in Victorian England and follows the story of Mr. Posket, a magistrate who finds himself in a scandalous situation when he marries a much younger woman named Agatha, who turns out to be the daughter of one of the men he has previously sentenced to prison. As the story unfolds, Mr. Posket's attempts to keep his marriage a secret from his colleagues and family members become increasingly complicated, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mishaps. Along the way, the play satirizes the hypocrisy and absurdity of Victorian society, particularly in its treatment of marriage and morality.Overall, The Magistrate is a witty and entertaining farce that offers a humorous commentary on the social mores of its time. With its colorful characters, clever dialogue, and fast-paced plot, it remains a popular work in the canon of British theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
