Description

"Lady Frederick: A Comedy in Three Acts" by William Somerset Maugham centers on the charismatic Lady Frederick, a charming widow navigating the complexities of love and society. Set in the elegant salons of early 20th-century London, the play follows Lady Frederick as she deftly handles suitors, gossip, and financial woes with wit and poise. Maugham's sharp dialogue and keen observations of human nature create a delightful, humorous exploration of romance, social maneuvering, and resilience.

Author

W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965) wrote Of Human Bondage, The Moon and Sixpence, and a famous shelf of stories from the South Seas and the drawing room. A doctor by training, he observed with a cool, professional eye: desire, failure, and the cost of a vocation. With 35 titles in our catalogue, Maugham remains the English novelist of worldly intelligence — never sentimental, always readable.
