What will they say at Brompton? A Comedetta, in One Act

'What will they say at Brompton?' is a one-act comedy theatrical drama written by Joseph Stirling Coyne. The playwright was a humorist and satirist in the tradition of Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope, considered to be one of the most prolific of his profession during the mid-nineteenth century. Coyne brought to the stage accomplished comedic interchanges, puns, irony, exaggerated character traits, ludicrous plot situations, and surprising outcomes. His plays reveal a deft ear for dialogue and an ability to create characters suited to the talents of specific actors.
