- A Play In Four Acts (1906)

Bag om The Hypocrites

""The Hypocrites: A Play In Four Acts"" is a dramatic work written by Henry Arthur Jones and first published in 1906. The play follows the story of a wealthy family, the Tremaynes, who appear to be pillars of society but are actually deeply flawed and hypocritical. The patriarch of the family, Sir John Tremayne, is a respected politician and businessman, but his personal life is marred by infidelity and deceit. His wife Lady Tremayne is equally duplicitous, pretending to be devoted to her husband while carrying on a secret affair. The couple's two children, Jack and Sybil, are also caught up in their parents' lies and deceptions. As the play unfolds, the Tremaynes' carefully constructed facade begins to crumble, revealing the true nature of their characters and the devastating consequences of their actions. With its themes of morality, deception, and social hypocrisy, ""The Hypocrites"" is a powerful and thought-provoking work that remains relevant today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
