Angels in Love

Abstract

Fauntleroy is here a young man - married but, as might be expected, totally ingnorant of what is to be expected of him as a husband. Linked with the story of the desperate, but hesitant, attempts to explain the nature of things are numerous co-plots, including a variant of the classical farce situation, mistaken identity, and an attempt at poison sustained throughout the play, with just suffcient exaggeration to poke gentle fun without tipping the whole thing over into adsurdity.
