This work is a series of entertaining dramas, comedies, burlesques, and farces, which have been specially composed for occasional exhibitions, community betterment, and parlor theatricals. These pieces don't require many supplies to be performed. A medium-sized room, having folding doors or hanging curtains to divide the audience from the actors and costumes such as the modern wardrobe will easily do the job and be enjoyable. Contents include: Down by the Sea A Close Shave Capuletta The Great Elixir The Man with the Demijohn An Original Idea "My Uncle the Captain" No Cure, No Pay Humors of the Strike Bread on the Waters
