Summary "A Troublesome Flock: A Mother Goose Play for Children" by Elizabeth F. Guptill is a playful children's play crafted during the early 20th century. This theatrical work falls under the category of children's drama and features an array of familiar nursery rhyme characters. The tone and style reflect a nostalgic charm reminiscent of the early 1900s, designed to engage young audiences and invite them into the whimsical world of Mother Goose. The play revolves around beloved figures from nursery rhymes, including Old Mother Goose, Humpty Dumpty, and Little Bo Peep, who come together to share lively stories filled with mischief and humor. The narrative flows through dialogues and songs, portraying the adventures and antics of various characters, such as the chaotic relationship dynamics of a bachelor and his newlywed wife, and the trouble caused by Willie Winkie. The light-hearted interactions are underscored by the characters' attempts to resolve playful conflicts, ultimately showcasing the joys and troubles of childhood. With a blend of humor, music, and engaging dialogue, the play is designed to be performable by children and serves as an entertaining homage to classic nursery tales.
