Book Overview

Let's Get Married is a farce-comedy play written by Lewis Beach and originally published in 1916. The play follows the story of a young couple, Jack and Betty, who are determined to get married despite the disapproval of their families. Jack's father, a wealthy businessman, wants him to marry a wealthy heiress, while Betty's mother believes that Jack is not good enough for her daughter. To complicate matters, Jack's ex-girlfriend, a flapper named Mimi, shows up and tries to win him back.As the play progresses, the characters become embroiled in a series of misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and comedic situations. The play features a cast of colorful characters, including a bumbling butler, a scheming maid, and a nosy neighbor. Despite the obstacles in their way, Jack and Betty remain determined to get married, and the play ends with a happy resolution.Let's Get Married is a classic example of early 20th-century American theater, with its fast-paced dialogue, witty humor, and zany plot twists. The play has been adapted for film and television numerous times, and remains a popular choice for community theater productions.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
