Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Torch-Bearers: A Satirical Comedy in Three Acts" by George Kelly is a stage play written in 1922. A housewife takes to the stage while her husband is away on business, embracing amateur theatrics with consequences. The three-act structure follows a rehearsal at the couple's home, the actual performance, and the aftermath. Set within the Little Theatre Movement, Kelly's satire skewers the pretensions and follies of community theater. The play premiered in New Jersey before transferring to Broadway and has enjoyed multiple revivals.
