Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"A Little Change: A Farce in One Scene" by Sydney Grundy is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. This lighthearted farce revolves around the themes of love, misunderstandings, and the dynamics of marriage, exploring how a newly married couple navigates their relationships with each other and their past acquaintances. The play takes place in a hotel room at a seaside resort, providing a backdrop for the unfolding drama and humor. In the story, Edwin and Ethel are newlyweds enjoying their honeymoon in the dull seaside town of Dumpington. Edwin expresses his boredom and longing for "a little change," which sets the stage for comedic misunderstandings. As the couple interacts, their playful banter reveals Ethel's concern that Edwin might grow tired of her, while Edwin realizes that old acquaintances, including Captain Plunger and Miss Carruthers, are still in the picture. Miscommunication arises as both characters flirt with the idea of seeing other people, leading to humorous and chaotic situations. Ultimately, they navigate the complexities of their relationships, leading to a reconciliation that emphasizes the light-hearted nature of love and the importance of honesty in a marriage.
