Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - 'The Last of Mrs. Cheyney' is a sophisticated three-act comedy that masterfully blends the wit of high-society drama with the tension of a crime caper. Written by the celebrated playwright Frederick Lonsdale, the play centers on the charming and elegant Mrs. Cheyney, a mysterious widow who ha…s captivated the elite of London society. However, beneath her polished exterior lies a clever secret: she is actually a professional jewel thief orchestrating a daring heist from within the inner circles of the British aristocracy. As the plot unfolds at a weekend country house party, Mrs. Cheyney finds herself entangled in a web of romantic advances and moral dilemmas. When her true identity is threatened by the very people she intends to rob, the play transitions into a sparkling examination of class, morality, and the facade of the upper crust. Lonsdale's sharp dialogue and rhythmic pacing highlight the hypocrisies of the era, making 'The Last of Mrs. Cheyney' a definitive example of early 20th-century British theatrical wit. This classic work remains a staple of the stage, celebrated for its strong female lead and its clever subversion of traditional social expectations. It offers readers and audiences alike a captivating look at the intersection of criminal ambition and high-stakes social climbing.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
