The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts by Arthur Wing Pinero
"The Magistrate: A Farce in Three Acts" by Arthur Wing Pinero is a farce written in 1885. A respectable London magistrate finds his orderly life turned upside down when his wife's deception about her age sets off a chain of scandalous events. What begins as an innocent evening escalates into a chaotic night involving a police raid, a collapsing balcony, and a desperate chase through muddy streets. The next morning, Posket must
preside over his own courtroom—only to discover familiar faces in the dock, including his own wife. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
