Betsy Baker! Or, Too Attentive By Half; A Farce, In One Act

By John Maddison Morton

A sparkling dash of Victorian wit, Betsy Baker! Or, Too Attentive By Half delivers a brisk, bewitching night of stage mischief. A masterclass in timing and social satire, it invites readers into a bustling London drawing room where etiquette and misunderstanding collide with comic finesse. This one act farce plays out with brisk energy and deft character work, offering a concise study in over attentive behaviour and domestic miscommunication. Its brisk dialogue, brisker stage business, and warm, affectionate pokes at social pretensions make it ideal for amateur theatre groups, acting students, and readers who adore stage comedy. Set against Victorian England and the London stage, the piece carries the rhythm and charm of a Gilbert and Sullivan style confection, while standing proudly as a piece of Victorian theatre classics. Alpha Editions is proud to restore this treasure for today's and future generations. This is more than a reprint-it's a collector's item and a cultural treasure, carefully prepared to honour the play's enduring appeal for casual readers and classic-literature collectors alike. The volume resonates with the social etiquette satire, the bustling energies of Victorian drama, and the affectionate lightness that continues to delight in theatres and study rooms around the world. A compact gem that rewards repeat viewing, reading, and performance.
