Trelawny of the Wells is a comedic play written by Arthur Wing Pinero and first published in 1899. The play is set in 1860s London and follows the story of Rose Trelawny, a popular and successful actress in a theater company. However, when Rose falls in love with Arthur Gower, a gentleman from a higher social class, she is forced to choose between her love for him and her career as an actress.The play explores themes of class, love, and the changing times of Victorian England. It features a cast of colorful characters, including Rose's fellow actors and actresses, as well as members of high society who disapprove of Rose's relationship with Arthur.Throughout the play, Pinero uses humor and wit to poke fun at the conventions of Victorian society and the theater world. Trelawny of the Wells is considered one of Pinero's most popular and enduring works, and has been adapted for film and television numerous times.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
