Poison: A Farce

About this book

In an era marked by social upheaval and the questioning of societal norms, "Poison: A Farce" by George M. Baker emerges as a sharp comedic critique of human folly. This late 19th-century play intricately weaves themes of misunderstanding and mistaken identity, showcasing the chaotic interactions of its characters in a suburban breakfast room. With its clever dialogue and absurd situations, Baker’s work invites readers to reflect on the absurdities of life, much like the exploration of unalienable rights in political discourse. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians alike, this farce not only entertains but also prompts deeper contemplation of the human condition and societal expectations. Discover the humor and insight that have kept audiences engaged for generations.
