Mr. Punch's Dramatic Sequels (1901)

By St. John Emile Clavering Hankin

Book Overview

Mr. Punch's Dramatic Sequels is a collection of satirical plays written by the British playwright St. John Hankin, first published in 1901. The plays are based on the popular Punch and Judy puppet show and feature the iconic character Mr. Punch. However, Hankin's versions of the stories take a darker and more cynical turn, exploring themes such as marriage, infidelity, and death. The plays are written in a witty and humorous style, but also contain a biting social commentary on the Victorian era. The collection includes six plays, each with its own unique plot and characters. Overall, Mr. Punch's Dramatic Sequels is a fascinating and entertaining read for fans of British literature, theatre, and satire.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
