Cool As A Cucumber: A Farce, In One Act is a play written by W. Blanchard Jerrold and first published in 1857. The play is a comedic farce that takes place in a London apartment and follows the antics of a group of characters as they navigate a series of misunderstandings and mistaken identities. The plot centers around a young man named Tom who is engaged to two different women at the same time. When both women unexpectedly show up at his apartment, he must try to keep them from discovering each other's presence while also dealing with a meddling landlady, a bumbling servant, and a nosy neighbor. The play is known for its fast-paced dialogue, witty humor, and clever plot twists. Overall, Cool As A Cucumber is a classic example of Victorian-era farce and a delightful read for fans of comedic theater.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
