| Summary | "Comrades: A Drama in Three Acts" by George M. Baker is a play written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the lives of several characters, including Royal Manning, his wife May, the tramp Matt Winsor, and Marcus Graves, who faces personal challenges tied to his past. Central themes appear to include friendship, the complexity of relationships, and social class struggles. The opening of the play introduces Royal Manning and May in their comfortable home, where they engage in lighthearted banter about matrimony and past lives. Royal reflects on his days as a soldier and his camaraderie with Matt Winsor, a former comrade from the war, who enters the scene as a drunken vagabond seeking assistance. Tensions arise as Royal and May discuss Marcus Graves, a man of mystery who has captured Bessie's affections. The playful atmosphere soon becomes heavier with the introduction of themes of shame and redemption, giving a hint of the deeper conflicts that will unfold through the characters' interactions and histories.
