Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book is a full-length play that unfolds in three acts, each divided into scenes. The humorous narrative follows the story of Dick Comfort, a married man who leads a comfortable life thanks to an inheritance from his uncle. Despite the generous gift enabling him to live at ease, his uncle has one clear condition: Dick must stay single. This presents a problem, as Dick has already fallen in love, married, and settled into a happy life with his wife, Edith. To keep this secret from his uncle, Dick employs a strategy of deceit and deception, involving the people around him in a collective lie. However, with his uncle planning an unexpected visit, Dick must act quickly to prevent his scheme from unraveling. The author explores the themes of love, marriage, and deception against a backdrop of witty wordplay, mistaken identities, and high-stakes bluffing.
