002 - Act 2

Dive into a delightful romantic comedy that’s not what you might expect from the title. Meet Mr. Embury, a bachelor with a unique quest to engineer the perfect wife. He takes an orphan named Peggy under his wing, believing she will fit the role. However, Peggy is convinced that Mr. Embury has other plans—to match her with his charming nephew, Captain Lovell, who seems to have his heart set on someone else. A critic once described this play as a fairy tale infused with sincerity, making it a story that feels both enchanting and believable. - Summary by Jenn Broda
