Description

"Mrs. Dot: A Farce" by William Somerset Maugham is a delightful comedic play revolving around the vivacious and wealthy widow, Mrs. Dot. Set in the early 20th-century British society, the story unfolds as suitors vie for her affection, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and witty exchanges. With sharp dialogue and satirical insights, Maugham crafts a charming farce that pokes fun at social pretensions and the pursuit of love, all while showcasing Mrs. Dot's spirited independence and cleverness.

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.
