Be Calm, Camilla! A Comedy In Two Acts (1922)

By Clare Kummer

Book Overview

""Be Calm, Camilla "" is a comedic play written by Clare Beecher Kummer and first published in 1922. The play follows the story of Camilla, a young woman who is prone to hysterics and fainting spells. Her family and friends are constantly trying to calm her down and keep her from causing a scene. When Camilla falls in love with a man named Jack, her family worries that her emotional outbursts will drive him away. As they try to keep Camilla under control, chaos ensues and the situation becomes increasingly absurd. The play is a lighthearted look at the social conventions and expectations of the time, and explores themes of love, family, and the pressure to conform. With its witty dialogue and farcical situations, ""Be Calm, Camilla "" is a classic example of the comedic plays of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
