The Will For The Deed

""The Will For The Deed: A Comedy In Three Acts"" is a play written by Thomas Dibdin and first performed in 1805. The story revolves around the character of Sir John Friendly, a wealthy and respected member of society who is known for his generosity and kindness. However, when he dies, his will reveals that he has left his entire fortune to his nephew, Charles, on the condition that he marries a woman of Sir John's choosing. This leads to a series of comical misunderstandings and plot twists as Charles tries to fulfill his uncle's wishes while also pursuing his own romantic interests. The play is a lighthearted and witty commentary on social conventions and the power of money and inheritance.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
