In Taunton Vale: An Original Play In Three Acts (1890) is a play written by Louis Napoleon Parker. The story is set in the fictional town of Taunton Vale, where the wealthy and influential residents are divided by class and social status. The play revolves around the lives of two families, the aristocratic Mertons and the working-class Smiths. The Mertons are a wealthy family who have lived in Taunton Vale for generations. They are proud of their status and look down upon the Smiths and other working-class families in the town. The Smiths, on the other hand, are hardworking and honest people who struggle to make ends meet. The plot of the play revolves around the romance between the Merton's daughter, Lady Edith, and the Smith's son, Tom. Their love is forbidden by their families, who are vehemently opposed to their relationship. The play explores themes of class, social status, and the power of love to overcome societal barriers. The play is divided into three acts, each of which is set in a different location in Taunton Vale. The first act takes place in the Merton's grand estate, where Lady Edith and Tom first meet. The second act is set in the Smith's humble home, where their family life is contrasted with the opulence of the Merton's lifestyle. The final act takes place in the town square, where the two families come together in a dramatic and emotional finale. In Taunton Vale: An Original Play In Three Acts (1890) is a well-crafted play that explores important social issues of its time. It is a timeless story that continues to resonate with audiences today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
